Half Past France Chords

(ver. 1)
John Cale
One of my favourite John Cale songs from my favourite John Cale album - Paris 1919.

G                                D
I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train
         C
And it's long
                              G
Somewhere between Dunkirk and Paris
                           D
Most people here are still asleep
        C
But I'm awake
                 D                  G
Looking out from here at half-past France


                                    D
Things are much different here than Norway
        C
Not so cold
                        G
Wonder when we’ll be in Dundee
                          D
Old hollweg knows his way around
        C
He’s no fool
                           G
Wish I’d get to see my son again


D         C              D   C
D         C              D   C
A simple case of them or me
D          C               D
If they’re alive then I am dead
             C              F
Pray God and eat your daily bread
F
Take your time

G
We’re so far away
D
Floating in this bay
G                      F
We’re so far away from home
F     C  G
Where we belong

G                         D       C
I’m not afraid now of the dark anymore
                           G
And many mountains now are molehills
                                D
Back in Berlin they’re all well fed
        C
I don’t care
                       G
People always bored me anyway

D         C              D   C
D         C              D   C
A simple case of them or me
D          C               D
If they’re alive then I am dead
             C              F
Pray God and eat your daily bread
F
Take your time

G
We’re so far away
D
Floating in this bay
G
We’re so far away
D
Floating in this bay
... these two lines repeat to fade
