[Verse 1]
Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)
Many lives [D]I could have [Em]lived,
many [E]trails taken
[Em]It always seems that
[D]way at twenty- three
[Em]You walk into a [D]room sometime[F#m]
[Em]and then a window [D]opens
[Em]My life changed forever in the south
of Ger[D]many
[Em]A morning train I had [F#m]to catch,
[Em]I just lay there[D] sleeping
[Em]There was nothing in that
[D]town to hold me
[B]By the time the [G]clock had done an
[B]other day of [D]creeping[B]
[E]My life had changed [B]forever
[E]in the south of Ger[D]many
Oh I'm sorry [G]that today I have to
[D]go [C]away
[D]Seven children I have raised,
I love [Em]some more than oth[D]ers
The [Em]hardest thing to [D]do is
to set them free
[B]So I learned [D]my lesson [G]hard
[D]seven times all[B] over
[E]My life [D]changed forever in the
[B]south of Ger[D]many
[B]I never was [D]the kind of [G]girl for act
[B]ing senti[D]mental[B]
[E]I never called [D]our meeting [E]destiny
[D]I just call it goo[G]d luck
[D]to meet a man so gentle
[E]My life changed [B]forever
[E]in the south [D]of Germany
Oh I'm so sorry that [G]today
I have to [D]go [C]away
[D]Sometimes when I wak[G]e at night
[D]I'm[Em] dreaming of [D]ano[B]ther
[D]Then I turn and touch him
next to me
[B]And I know where I[D][G]
belong; still I sometimes [D]wonder
My life changed forever
in the [Em]south of [D]Germany
[D]Oh I'm so sorry that today I have to go away
