[Intro]
F C G C
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
[Verse]
G C
Finished our food and got into the wagon
D G
To drive eighty miles and then do the show
C
Five hours later, we're still busy trucking
F C G C
Banging and bumping, don't know where to go
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
[Verse]
G C
Got to the gig, although nobody else did
D G
Set up the gear and began to play
C
Farmers and soldiers just standing and staring
F C G C
Just didn't know what to make of the day
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
[Verse]
G C
Finished the last song and made for the exit
D G
But the manager man had come up from the sticks
C
He said, "Why ain't you dressed like a poofter ensemble
F C G C
Leaping pianos and waving your legs?"
[Verse]
G C
Dear Mr Hilter, we've been meaning to tell you
D G
It's really quite simple, you don't have to fear
C
We ain't your Rolling Stones, we ain't your T-Rex
F C G C
Actually, we're only here for the beer
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
[Verse]
G C
Into the van again, out on the highway
D G
Back to our hotel to take a rest
C
Everyone's swigging their Egri Bikavér
F C G C
Things really were funny in old Budapest
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F C D7 G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F C G C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
