   In Berlin, by the Wall
Bb6                      G5/A
  you were five foot ten inches tall
   Gmaj7        riff*
It was very nice
       D/F#                    Dmaj7
candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

Cm7          G/B
    We were in  a small cafe
Bb6                   G/A
  you could hear the guitars play
   Gmaj7        riff*
It was very nice
    D/F#
it was paradise
