[Intro] Am

         Am       F6      E7           F#m7(5-)
After another production of “The Flying Dutchman”
  Eb°    Dm7      E7
I landed in Berlin
          Am       G7             G7   C
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
      Am          F        E7
And wonder what state I’m in
 Am           F6         G7           C7
Sissi was the anarchist empress of Austria
    Eb°           Dm7                E7
And I was in the same state that she was in
          F      G7                   C C7
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
     F      Am     F7       Am         E7
And wheeere the... heeell’s that... fan

 E7     E7      Am             B7       Dbm7(-5)
After another induction to the hall of famine
  Bb°        Am   B7
I closed the magazine
          Em      F#m7(5-)      D7        G
Thinking over and over it how can I get over it
  Em       Am          B7
And be German and mean
 Em          C          D7         G7
Jenny was a pirate and Jane was beheaded
    Bb°         Am7        B7
And Nina was a sweet nymphomaniac
          C          D7         D7               G
And with them in my corner I’m sure that it’s a tall order
   C7    C    C7  C  G
To find that perfect man

    G                Dm
I’m doing all that I can
  Dm                   G              Dm
Trying to make all the roses bloom in unison
 G                      Dm
Say I’m gonna blow you away
 Dm                G              Dm
Making all of the roses bloom so step away
Dm                 G  F9/A  C      G
Making all of the  roooses  bloom

 G      Em       C             B7        Dbm7(-5)
After another unveiling of the bright red herring
 Bb°          Am7      B7
I walked down Rufus Street
B7         Em     D7           D7      G
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
     Em7               Am7      B7
And where in the world will I meet
B7   Bm7 G6 Am7 D7 Ab°         Em7
That liiiteerary, lean, stripe suited
Em7       C6     Db6            D/A#
Love I’ve read about all of my life
         G         C        F#7
Which I fear is a ruse and explains
F#7      G     C6     F    G    C7     F#°  B7
All the walks through all the parks of Eeeeurope
G6        F          F#          G
And why I never will tell you “I love you”
    Ab/E          A
And why there is just but
   Bb        C    C7  G
A vision of peeerfect man

G                    Dm
I’m doing all that I can
Dm                G              Dm
Making all of the roses bloom in unison
G                      Dm
Say I’m gonna blow you away
Dm                G                Dm7
Making all of the roses bloom so step away
C9       C9      D7
And be dazzled
 D7               F6    C  G
Making all of the rooooses bloom
