The original is played on an organ and tuned at a slightly higher pitch than the regular A440 HZ. D A I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train G And it's long D Somewhere between Dunkirk and Paris D A Most people here are still asleep G But I'm awake A D Looking out from here, at half-past France D A Things are much different here than Norway G Not so cold D Wonder when we'll be in Dundee A Old Hollweg knows his way around G He's no fool D Wish I'd get to see my son again ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_cale/half_past_france_crd.html ) A G G But from here on it's got to be A G G A simple case of them or me A G A If they're alive then I am dead G Em Pray God and eat your daily bread, take your time D We're so far away A Floating in this bay D We're so far away A G D From home, where we belong D A G I'm not afraid now of the dark, anymore D And many mountains now are molehills D A G Back in Berlin they're all well fed, and I don't care D People always bored me anyway A G G From here on it's got to be A G G A simple case of them or me A G A If they're alive then I am dead G Em Pray God and eat your daily bread, take your time D We're so far away... A Floating in this bay... (Repeat chorus until the song fades out)
