Homburg (clip) (midi)

 
 D - D7 - Bm - E - A - A7
 
 D - E  - G D
1. Your multilingual business friend  has packed her bags and fled,
 E  - G D
 leaving only ash-filled ashtrays and the lipstick-unmade bed.
 Bm Em D  A
 The mirror, on reflection, has climbed back upon the wall,
D E  - G D
 for the floor she found descended, and the ceiling was too tall.
 
 D7 G
Your trouser cuffs are dirty,
  E A
and your shoes are laced up wrong,
  F# Bm 
you'd better take off your homburg
  G D
'cause your overcoat is too long
 
 - D7 - Bm - E - A - A7
 
D E - G D
2. The town clock in the market square, stands waiting for the hour,
  E - G
 when its hands they’ll both turn backwards, 
 D
 and on meeting will devour
 Bm Em D  A
 both themselves and also any fool who dares to tell the time,
D E - G D
 and the sun and moon will shudder, and the signposts cease to sign.
