  1. Jolene

Dolly Parton / Dolly Parton: Jolene (1973)

Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene -
G Am G Am G
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
Am C G Am
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Jolene -
G Am G Am G
Please don't take him just because you can.
 
Your beauty is beyond compare 
With flaming locks of auburn hair 
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green 
 
Your smile is like a breath of spring 
Your voice is soft like summer rain 
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene 
 
He talks about you in his sleep 
There's nothing I can do to keep 
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene 
 
And I can easily understand 
How you could easily take my man 
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene 
 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I'm begging of you please don't take my man 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Please don't take him just because you can 
 
You could have your choice of men 
But I could never love again 
Hes the only one for me, Jolene 
 
I had to have this talk with you 
My happiness depends on you 
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene 
 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I'm begging of you please don't take my man 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Please don't take him even though you can 
Jolene, Jolene 

  2. Those Were The Days

Gene Raskin

Am Am7
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
A7 Dm
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am7
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
B7 E
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.
Am Dm
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end,
G G7 C
we'd sing and dance for ever and a day;
Dm Am
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loose,
E7 Am
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
A7 Dm
La la la la la la la la la la la la
E7 Am
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
 
Then the busy years went rushing by us. 
We lost our starty notions on the way. 
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern, 
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say: 
repeat chorus
 
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. 
Nothing seemed the way it used to be. 
In the glass I saw a strange reflection, 
was that lonley woman really me? 
repeat chorus
 
Through the door there came familiar laughter. 
I saw your face and heard you call my name. 
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser. 
For in our hearts the dream are still the same. 
repeat chorus

  8. Joanna

Jon Allen / Sweet Defeat (2011)

G C G C G C
From the dying arms of twilight, let's run into the night.
G C
Let's fly like straight shot arrows across the sky.
G C
From the ashes of an old life, let's catch this newborn flame;
G C
Hold it close and never let it die.
Am7 D G C
Go with me Joanna, go with me in time;
Am D G
A pair of chancers on an open road.
Am7 D G C
We'll train our feet to follow the footprints of our dreams.
Am D G G C G C
Put your hand in my hand and let's go.
 
Let's sail upon the evening, now the wind is getting high. 
Let's go outside and drink the air like wine. 
This time we'll make a clean break; there'll be no looking back. 
We'll leave these streets of sorrow far behind. 
Go with me Joanna, go with me in time; 
Let's get away before we get too old. 
We'll cut across the border, into unclaimed land. 
Put your hand in my hand and let's go. 
Bridge:
Em C D Em C D
Somewhere there's a place to be; Where all we have is all we need.
only guitar
G C
Maybe there's a reason that lies beyond these walls;
G C
Maybe there's a meaning to be found.
G (+bass) C
'Cause I can't escape this feeling, this vision in my mind,
G C
Of the day we put down roots in virgin ground.
Go with me Joanna, go with me in time; 
I'll take you where the wild flowers grow. 
We'll ride on through the darkness, and get there with the dawn; 
Put your hand in my hand - let's go. 

  9. First Day of my Life

Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes: I'm Wide Awake, it's Morning (2005)

Dm9 (Fm+7)(Fm) E--0----0----8-- H--3----6----6-- Riff 1: G--2----5----5-- D--3----6----6-- A--0----0----0-- E--x----x----x--
C E Am F G C
C E Am F G C
This is the first day of my life - Swear I was born right in the doorway
C E Am
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
D7 G
They're spreading blankets on the beach
 
C E Am F G C
Your's is the first face that I saw - Think I was blind before I met you
C E Am
Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
D7 G
But I know where I want to go
C G Am F G
So I thought I'd let you know - That these things take forever
C C/B Am
I especially am slow
Dm9 C
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home
G Am (Riff 1)
C E Am F G C
I remember the time you drove all night - Just to meet me in the morning
C E Am
I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
D7 G
You felt as if you'd just woke up
 
C E Am
And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
F G C
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
C E Am
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
D7 G
And I'd probably be happy."
C G Am F G
So if you want to be with me - With these things there's no telling
C C/B Am
We'll just have to wait and see
Dm9 C E Am
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery
Dm9 C
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me
E Am (Riff 1) C E Am (Riff 1) C

Our commander comes down back to earth and knows.

I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear; Just saying this...
 
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you; Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. 
But in your dreams whatever they be: Dream a little dream of me! 
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear; Still craving your kiss. 
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear; Just saying this...

 13. Roses From My Friends

Ben Harper

 
G D Am
I could have treated you better
But you couldn't have treated me worse 
But it's he who laughs last 
It is he who cries first 
 
Sometimes I feel I know strangers 
better than I know my friends 
Why must a beginning 
be the means to an end? 
 
G D
The stones from my enemies
Em C
these wounds will mend
Em D
But I cannot survive
C G
the roses from my friends
 
When the last word has been spoken 
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun 
All that shall remain is a token 
of what we've said and done 
 
When all we've had has been forsaken 
And distant church bells no longer ring 
That's the sound of a heart taken 
and the story of tears from a king 
 
The stones from my enemies 
these wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
the roses from my friends 
 
This may be the last time I see you 
Forgive me for holding you close. 
This may be the last time I see you 
So of this moment I will make the most. 
 
This may be the last time I see you, 
But if you keep me in your heart - 
together we shall be eternal 
If you believe - we shall never part. 
 
The stones from my enemies 
These wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
the roses from my friends 

 14. Burn One Down

Ben Harper

 
G
Let us burn one, from end to end
Em C
And pass it over to me my friend
G
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
Em C
to light me up before I go
 
G Em
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around
G D G
Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Em D G
Yes I'm gonna burn one down
 
My choice is what I choose to do 
And if I'm causing no harm why should it bother you 
Your choice is who you choose to be 
And if you're causing no harm, then you're alright with me 
 
If you don't like my fire then don't come around 
Cause I'm gonna burn one down 
Yes I'm gonna burn one, down 
 
Herb's a gift, from the earth 
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth 
So before you knock it, try it first 
Oh you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse 
 
If you don't like my fire then don't come around 
Cause I'm gonna burn one down 
Yes I'm gonna burn one, down 

 15. The Drugs Don't Work

Ben Harper

 
C Am
All this talk of getting old - Is getting me down my love.
Em F
Like a cat in a bag - Waiting to drown -
G C
This time I'm calming down.
 
And I know your thinking of me - As you lay down on your side. 
Now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - 
But I know I'll see your face again. 
And now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - 
But I know I'll see your face again. 
 
But I know i'm on a losing streak - As I pass down by your street 
And if you want a show - Just let me know, 
And I'll sing in your ear again. 
Now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - 
But I Know I'll see your face again. 
 
F G Am
So baby - oooh - If Heaven calls -
G F G
I'm coming too, Just like you said:
Am G
If you leave my life - I'm better off dead!
 
All this talk of getting old - Is getting me down my love. 
Like a cat in the bag - Waiting to drown - 
This time I'm calming down. 
 
Drugs don't work - They just make you worse - 
But I know I'll see your face again 
So baby - oooh - If Heaven calls - 
I'm coming too, And like you said: 
If you leave my life - I'm better off dead 
 
But if you want a show - Just let me know - 
And I'll sing in your ear again. 
 
Now that the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - 
But I know I'll see your face again.

 17. Another Lonely Day

Ben Harper

 
C Am Em G
Yes indeed I am alone again
C Am Em G
And here comes emptiness crashing in
 
Its either love or hate, I can't find in between 
'Cause I've been with the witches and I have been with the queen 
 
F Am G
It wouldn't have worked out anyway
F Am G
So for now it's just another lonely day, hey, hey
F Am G
Further 'long, we just may
F Am G
But for now it's just another lonely day
 
Wish there was something I could say or do 
I can resist anything but the temptation from you 
 
But I'd rather walk alone than chase you around 
I'd rather fall myself than let you drag me on down 
 
It wouldn't have worked out anyway 
and now it's just another lonely day 
hey, hey 
Further along, we just may 
But for now it's just another lonely day 
 
Yesterday seems like a life ago 
'Cause the one I loved today I hardly know 
You I held so close in my heart oh dear 
Grow further from me with every falling tear 
 
It wouldn't have worked out anyway 
So now it's just another lonely day 
hey, hey 
Further along, we just may 
But for now it's just another lonely day 
For now its just another lonely day 
hey, hey 
For now its just another lonely day

Oh no, Here comes that sun again 
That means another day without you my friend 
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself 
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else 
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say- 
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away - 
Walk away. 
 
So many people to love in my life 
Why do i worry about one 
But'a you put the happy in my ness 
You put the good times into my fun 
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say. 
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away; 
Walk away - And head for the door. 
 
Bridge
We've tried the goodbyes - So many days.
We walk in the same direction 
So that we could never stray. 
They say if you love somebody 
Then you have got to set them free. 
But I would rather be locked to you 
Verse
than live in this pain and mise-ry
 
They say that time will make all this go away; 
But its time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays. 
And once again that rising sun is a'droppin' on down, 
And once again you, my friend, are nowhere to be found. 
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say. 
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away; 
Walk away - And head for the door.

Ben Harper

 
Intro
Am F C G
 
Am F
What started as a whisper
C G
Slowly turned into a scream
Am F
Searching for an answer
C G
Where the question is unseen
 
I don't know where you came from 
And I don't know where you've gone 
Old friends become old strangers 
Between the darkness and the dawn 
 
F C
Amen Omen
G Am
Will I see your face again
F C
Amen Omen
G Am
Can I find the place within
F C G Bb F Ab Bb
To live my life without you
 
I still hear you saying 
All of life is a chance 
And is sweetest 
When at a glance 
 
But I live a hundred 
Lifetimes in a day 
But I die a little 
In every breath that I take 
 
Amen Omen 
Will I see your face again 
Amen Omen 
Can I find the place within 
To live my life without you 
 
I listen to a whisper 
Slowly drift away 
Silence is the loudest 
Parting word you never say 
I put your world 
Into my veins 
Now a voiceless sympathy 
Is all that remains 
 
Amen Omen 
Will I see your face again 
Amen Omen 
Can I find the place within 
To live my life without you

Jack Johnson

 
Intro/Strophe
Dm F Bb F
 
I know she said it's alright 
You can make it up next time 
I know she knows it's not right 
There ain't no use in lying 
Maybe she thinks I know something 
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine 
Maybe she knows something I don't 
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying 
 
F C
It seems to me that maybe
Dm A
It pretty much always means no
Bb C F
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F C
And often times we're lazy
Dm A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb C F
'Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down
 
I know she loves the sunrise 
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes and 
I know that when she said she's gonna try 
Well it might not work because of other ties and 
I know she usually has some other ties and 
I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, I wouldn't wanna break 'em 
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but 
Until then, well, I'm gonna have to lie to her 
 
It seems to me that maybe 
It pretty much always means no 
So don't tell me you might just let it go 
And often times we're lazy 
It seems to stand in my way 
'Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down 
 

 21. Bubble Toes

Jack Johnson

D A
It's as simple as something that nobody knows
Em C
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards 
G
and her feet are all covered with tar balls - and scars.
 
It's as common as something that nobody knows 
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes 
up the hill in the back of her house in the wood 
she'd love me forever, I know - she could. 
 
I remember when, you and me, Mmmmh how we used to be - 
G C D
just good friends, wouldn't give me none, But all I wanted was - some
 
G
She's got a whole lot of reasons, she cant think of a
C D
single one that can justify leaving
and he got none but he thinks he got so many 
problems and he got, too much time to - waste. 
 
His dreams are like commercials, but her dreams are picture perfect and our 
Dreams are so related though they're often underestimated. 
Zwischenspiel
G C D
It's as simple as something that nobody knows 
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes 
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards 
her feet are infested with tar balls, and 
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da 
Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G. 
When this little girl came and she sat next to me 
never seen nobody move the way she did 
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again 
 
When you move like a jellyfish, rhythm don't mean nothing 
You go with the flow, you don't stop 
Move like a jellyfish, rhythm is nothing 
You go with the flow, you don't stop - Mmmmh... 
 
It's as common as something that nobody knows 
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes 
Up the hill in the back of her house in the woods 
She'll love me forever, I know she 
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da 
If you would only listen, you might just 
realize what you're missing, you're missing - me. 
If you would only listen, you might just 
realize what you're missing, you're missing - me. 
 
It's as simple as something that nobody knows 
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes 
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards 
her feet are infested with tar balls and 
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da 

 22. F-Stop Blues

Jack Johnson

 
Intro:
2x E G#m A E/B
 
Verse:
E B A
Hermit crabs and cowrie shells, crushed beneath his feet as he comes towards you, 
he's waving at you. 
Lift him up to see what you can see, as he begins his focusing, 
he's aiming at you. 
 
And now he has, cutaways from memories and closeups of anything 
that he has seen or even dreamed, and now he's finished focusing. 
He's imagining lightning striking, sea sickness 
away from here. 
 
E G#m A E/B
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted, 
how many years and you've barely even tasted, 
anything remotely close to everything you've boasted about. 
Look who's crying now. 
 
Solo:
2x E G#m A E/B
 
Driftwood floats after years of erosion. 
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them. 
Quicksand steals my shoes. 
Clouds bring the F-stop blues. 
 
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted, 
how many years and you've barely even tasted, 
anything remotely close to everything you've boasted about. 
Look who's crying now.

 24. I'm Yours

Jason Mraz

 
A
Well, you done done me in, you bet I felt it
E
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
F#m
I fell right through the cracks
D
Now I'm trying to get back
 
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest 
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention 
I reckon it's again my turn 
to win some or learn some 
 
A E
But I won't hesitate no more,
F#m D
no more It cannot wait, I'm yours
 
A E
Well, open up your mind and see like me
F#m
Open up your plans and damn you're free
D
Look into your heart and you'll find love love, love, love
 
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing 
We're just one big family 
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, love, love, loved, 
B7
loved
 
So I won't hesitate no more, no more 
It cannot wait I'm sure 
There's no need to complicate 
Our time is short 
This is our fate, I'm yours 
 
 
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror 
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer 
But my breath fogged up the glass 
And so I drew a new face and I laughed 
 
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason 
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons 
It's what we aim to do 
Our name is our virtue 
 
So I won't hesitate no more, no more 
It cannot wait I'm sure 
There's no need to complicate 
Our time is short 
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well, the drinks were served as usual, And the usual crowd was there,

In a corner stood old Joe McKennedy, His eyes all bloodshot and red.

He turned to the crowd around him, And these were the words he said,

I went to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there.
Em Am Em
She was layed out on a long white table,
C B7 Em Am Em B7 Em
So sweet, so cold, so fair, So sweet, so cold, so fair!
 
Went up to see the doctor, "She's very low," he said; 
Went back to see my baby: 
Good God! She's lying there dead! Good God! She's lying there dead! 
 
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be! 
She can search this wide world over, 
And never find a man like me, And never find a man like me! 
 
Well, if I die, please won't you bury me With my high top Stetson hat! 
Put a twenty Dollar gold piece on my watchchain, 
to let the boys know that I'm standing pat, to let the boys know that I'm standing pat! 
 
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin, Let six pretty girls sing me a song! 
Put a dixieland band behind my hearse wagon, 
To raise Hell while they roll me along, To raise Hell while they roll me along 
 
Now that's the end of my story; Let's have another round of booze 
And if anyone should ask you: 
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues, I've got the St. James Infirmary blues! 
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,...

"Young man, I will tell you a secret It's true I'm a maid that is poor.

Therefore I remain at my service And go through all my hardship and toil

And wait for the lad that has left me All alone on the banks of belle isle".

I came here to fulfill our last promise And hope to give you a surprise.

For me there is no other damsel Than my bloomin bright star of belle isle".

 35. Further On Up The Road

Bruce Springsteen / Johnny Cash: American V - A Hundred Highways (2006)

Dm F
Where the road is dark And the seed is sewed;
Dm F
Where the gun is cocked As the bullet's cold.
Dm C Dm C
Where the miles are marked In the blood and the gold:
A# C Dm
And I'll meet you further on up the road.
 
Dm F
Got on my dead man suit And my smilin' skull ring;
Dm F
My lucky graveyard boots And a song to sing.
Dm C Dm C
I got a song to sing That keeps me out of the cold;
A# C Dm
And I'll meet you further on up the road.
F Dm
Further on up the road - Further on up the road.
F A
Where the way is dark - And the night is cold.
Dm C Dm C
One sunny mornin' - We'll rise I know:
A# C Dm
And I'll meet you further on up the road!
 
Dm F
Now I've been out in the desert Just doin' my time.
Dm F
Searchin' through the dust Lookin' for a sign.
C Dm C
If there's a light up ahead Well brother I don't know;
A# C Dm
But I've got this fever burnin' in my soul.
F Dm
Further on up the road - Further on up the road.
F A
Where the way is dark - And the night is cold.
Dm C Dm C
One sunny mornin' - We'll rise I know:
A# C Dm
And I'll meet you further on up the road!

 36. Another Travelin' Song

Bright Eyes: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (2005)

A A D
Well I’m changing all my strings, I’m gonna write another travelin' song.
A E
about all the billion highways and the cities at the break of dawn.
A D
Well I guess the best that I can do now is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong.
E D A
and dream about a train that’s gonna take me back where I belong.
 
A D
Now the ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it from the interstate -
A E
and I’m screaming at my brother on the cell phone, he is far away.
A D
And I’m saying "nothing in the past or future ever will feel like today -
E D A
until we’re parking in an alley, just hoping that our shit is safe".
D A
So I go back and forth forever;
D A
All my thoughts, they come in pairs.
D C#m Bm
Well I will, I won’t, I doubt, I don’t, I’m not surprised;
D E A
But I never feel quite prepared.
 
A (muted) D (muted)
Now I’m hunched over a typewriter, I guess you’d call that painting in a cave.
A (muted) E (muted)
And there’s a word I can’t remember and a feeling I can not escape
A (muted) D (muted)
And now my ashtray’s overflowing I’m still staring at a clean white page.
E D A
And morning’s at my window and she is sending me to bed again.
 
A D
Well I dreamed of dark on the horizon, I dreamed a desert where the dead laid down.
A D
I dreamed a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crowd.
A D
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinking, there was people screaming all around.
E D A
And I awoke to my alarm clock, it was a pop song, it was playing loud.
D A
So I will find my fears and face them
D A
Or I will cower like a dog.
D C#m
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead,
Bm D E A
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up.

 39. Nur ein Wort

Jean-Michel Tourette, Judith Holofernes, Mark Tavassol / Wir sind Helden: Von hier an blind (2005)

Ich sehe, dass du denkst, ich denke dass du fühlst,
F
Ich fühle dass du willst aber ich hör dich nicht; ich
C Em Am
Hab mir ein Wörterbuch gelieh'n, dir A bis Z ins Ohr geschrien,
F C
Ich stapel tausend wirre Worte auf die dich am Ärmel zieh'n.

Und wo du hingehen willst, ich häng' an deinen Beinen,

Wenn du schon auf den Mund fallen musst, warum dann nicht auf meinen?
C Em Am
Oh bitte gib mir nur ein Oh, Bitte gib mir nur ein Oh,
F C
Bitte gib mir nur ein - Bitte, bitte gib mir nur ein Wort.
Em Am F
Es ist verrückt wie schön du schweigst, wie du dein hübsches Köpfchen neigst 
Und so der ganzen lauten Welt und mir die kalte Schulter zeigst. 
Dein Schweigen ist dein Zelt, du stellst es mitten in die Welt, 
Spannst die Schnüre und staunst stumm wenn nachts ein Mädchen drüber fällt. 
 
Zu deinen Füssen red ich mich um Kopf und Kragen, 
Ich will in deine tiefen Wasser große Wellen schlagen, 
Oh bitte gib mir nur ein Oh, Bitte gib mir nur ein Oh, 
Bitte gib mir nur ein - Bitte bitte gib mir nur ein Wort. 
 
In meinem Blut werfen die Endorphine Blasen, 
Wenn hinter deinen stillen Hasenaugen die Gedanken rasen... 

 40. Rauch Haus Song

Reiser / Ton Steine Scherben: Keine Macht für Niemand (1972)

Rauch-Haus-Song 
Em7 A7 D
Der Mariannenplatz war blau, soviel Bullen waren da,
Bm7 Em7 A7 d
und Mensch Meier musste heulen, das war wohl das Tränengas.
Bm7 Em Bm
Und er fragte irgendeinen: "Sag mal, ist hier heut 'n Fest?"
G A
"Sowas ähnliches", sacht einer "das Bethanien wird besetzt."
Em7 A7 D
"Wird auch Zeit", sagte Mensch Meier, "Stand ja lange genug leer.
Bm7 Em7 A7 D
Ach, wie schön wär doch das Leben, gäb es keine Pollis mehr."
Bm7 Em7 Bm
Doch der Einsatzleiter brüllte: "Räumt den Mariannenplatz,
G A
damit meine Knüppelgarde genug Platz zum Knüppeln hat!"
Em7 A7 D
Doch die Leute im besetzen Haus
Bm A7 D Bm
riefen: "Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus!
G Em F#m
Das ist unser Haus - schmeißt doch endlich
G Em7 A D Em A D Bm
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus."
 
Der Senator war stinksauer, die CDU war schwer empört, 
daß die Typen sich jetzt nehmen, was ihnen sowieso gehört. 
Aber um der Welt zu zeigen, wie großzügig sie sind, 
sagten sie: "Wir räumen später, lassen sie erstmal drin!" 
Und vier Monate später stand in Springer's heißem Blatt, 
daß Georg-von-Rauch-Haus hat eine Bombenwerkstatt. 
Und die deutlichen Beweise sind zehn leere Flaschen Wein 
und zehn leere Flaschen können schnell zehn Mollies sein. 
Doch die Leute im Rauch-Haus 
riefen: "Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! 
Das ist unser Haus - schmeißt doch endlich 
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." 
 
Letzten Montag traf Mensch Meier in der U-Bahn seinen Sohn. 
Der sagte: "Die woll'n das Rauch-Haus räumen, 
ich muß wohl wieder zu Hause wohnen." 
"Is ja irre", sagt Mensch Meier "sind wa wieder einer mehr 
in uns'rer Zwei-Zimmer-Luxus-Wohnung und das Bethanien steht wieder leer. 
Sag mir eins, ha'm die da oben Stroh oder Scheiße in ihrem Kopp? 
Die wohn' in den schärfsten Villen, unsereins im letzten Loch. 
Wenn die das Rauch-Haus wirklich räumen, 
bin ich aber mit dabei 
und hau den ersten Bullen,die da auftauchen ihre Köppe ein." 
Und ich schrei's laut: 
"Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! 
Das ist unser Haus - schmeißt doch endlich 
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." 
 
|: Und wir schreien's laut: 
"Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! 
Das ist unser Haus, schmeißt doch endlich 
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." :|
