[G][D][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Odious
[C]Odessa, [G]cit[D]y of my birth,
[G]Happy that day [C]when [D]you'll
van[C]ish [D]from the [G]earth.
Me for
Copen[C]hagen, [G]me [D]for
Greece and
Rome,
[G]Every day's an [C]adven[D]ture
[C]when [D]you're not [G]home.
And in a [C]thousand years
[D]from tod[A]ay
Americans [D]will [G]come
To [C]play in giant flying metal [D]birds
To view our beauteous [E]sightings
And hear some fearsome journal [F#]words
[D]And [G]tour of
Europe in two weeks
A marvel, marvel every [D]hour
A stunning country every [E]day
They'll look for
Copenhagen's [F#]town,
[G]but they will never pay for
Oh dear, so [C]damn [G]so, [D]city of my birth
[G]Happy that day [C]when [D]love
[C]vanished [D]from the [G]earth
Me for
Copen[C]hagen, [G]me [D]for
Greece and
Rome
[G]Every day's an [C]adven[D]ture
[C]when [D]you're not [G]home
And there's a [C]new spring
[D]dance here to [A]thee
The muse of [D]our new [G]century
[C]She wears a
Garibaldi [D]hat
Yet cares for
Aristo[E]phanes
But only as part aris[F#]tocrat
An[G]d of her other companies
She telegraphs without a [D]frown
Her uncle called
Loco[E]motive
Well, might some write that she is [F#]dumb
[D]But she would [G]never live in
Oh dearest
[C]Lodenzo, [G]cit[D]y of my birth
[G]Happy that day [C]when [D]you'll
[C]vanish [D]from the [G]earth
Me for
Copen[C]hagen, [G]me [D]for
Greece and
Rome
[G]Every day's an [C]adven[D]ture
[C]when [D]you're not home
