Bm                                   A 
The rain falls down in Amsterdam the streets are wet and black 
G                               F#sus 
Midnights like November by the glow of a cigarette 
     Bm                                     G 
 
The girls on hash in station square looking stupid from the drugs 
A                                             F# 
When Marlene heard the boots march there were reasons to be dumb 
      Bm 
Shiny helmuts in the shadows 
      G 
Those trains that left at night 
      Bm                           G 
Those hiding in the cellars those eyes afraid of light 
Bm                                  G 
Something neath the border's poured poison in the well 
    A                                             Bm 
The creature has uncoiled and is crawling up from hell 
Em               Bm 
Here comes 1914 1932  
      A 
Those cattle cars and yellow stars 
     Bm 
It's right back to the roots 
     Em                       Bm 
It's movin in the open with a snarl and a growl 
    A                                              Bm 
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the prowl 
Bm                     A 
Fire bomb those houses burn those refugees 
G 
Be the crowd and do your work 
F#                  Bm 
Applauding silently round up all the gypsies 
   G 
Go sell them on the trains 
A 
Can't you smell the smoke now 
F# 
Drifting through the rain 
Bm 
Jews better draw your curtains  
            G 
You better lock your doors up tight 
        Bm                            G 
They're snarling up in Rostock in the beer hall belly nights 
    Bm 
The Fourth Reich's coming now baby 
G                               A 
They're writing out the page in Rome, Berlin, and Stockholm 
                       Bm 
The beast has left the cage 
Em              Bm            
Here comes 1932 here comes deja vu 
      A 
Those cattle cars  and yellow stars  
              Bm 
Was there someone that you knew 
     Em                      Bm 
It's right there in the open somethings smelling bad 
    A                              Bm 
The cages have been broken and the beast is a running mad 
Bm 
Those canals and cozy houses 
      A 
Those reflections in the light 
         G 
You can almost feel it moving 
    F#sus 
The monster in the night 
Bm 
It's looking with it's yellow eyes 
     G                           A 
It's out to settle scores in the dim medieval distance 
        F# 
Feel it breathing down your pores 
   Bm 
In Salt Lake City and in Rio 
    G 
The beast can smell the flames 
     Bm                            G 
It's faxing hate out in Marseilles typing out your name 
        Bm                              G 
You can hear the windows shatter as the time is drawing near 
A 
Kristall Nacht come to town 
                             Bm  
Welcome back to the house of mirrors 
A                                 Bm 
The fire and the armbands and the iron arm salutes 
A                                F# 
Pointing to the scapegoat was it me or was it you 
Bm 
It's right there in the open 
A 
Don't just stand there hoping  
    G 
the leashes have been broken 
        Bm 
And the dogs are on the loose 
Bm                                A 
Now I have been here thinking how lucky I have been 
  G                                 F# 
I never touched the barb wire never saw the money grin 
   Bm                            G  
No rifle ever smashed my face no bare electric shock 
     A 
But I'll confess up  
                 F# 
All I know who I am and who I'm not 
   Bm                        G 
To see retired killers is to see the lion yawn 
    Bm                                   G 
The shinheads do their dirtywork for the cloak and dagger pawns 
    Bm  
The dark eyes will be waiting there 
         G 
When the borders they are crossed 
   A                                              Bm 
So keep your filthy swastikas and shove your iron cross 
Em              Bm 
Here comes 1914 1932 
      A 
Those cattle cars and yellow stars  
     Bm 
It's right back to the roots 
Em 
It's out  there in the open 
Bm 
It's crawling on the move 
    A                              Bm 
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the loose 
Bm 
Can't you smell the blood now 
 
Can't you smell the truth 
Bm 
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam
