[Verse 1]
[G]New [D]tim[A]es. New[G] tim[D]es.
[A]New[G] tim[D]es.[G][A][D]
Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm the guard. At one time
This was rather [G]pleasant
The poets they still [D]had to muse
Over [G]the classicism of [D]clean shoes
But [G]who today still knows a button [A]stick
Well, that's the [G]new times
That's the new [D]times
That's the [G]new [D]tim[Em]es[G][A][D]
The girls would lie down before us
First one went dancing,
then behind [A]the [G]bushes
Today you have to run
[D]through twenty places
Get [G]drunk on saccharin and [D]methyl
And [G]then you still don't
get them that [A]far
Well, that's the [G]new times
That's the [D]new times
That's [G]the [D]new[Em] tim[A]es[D]
[Bm]Now take it [G]easy there
in the [Bm]early morning
Who [F#]arrives [Bm]but[G][Bm][G][Bm]
[D]the[Bm] brethren from the press
If [D]somewhere [E]there lies a cadaver
Or something is foul in the state
You can be sure that a
writer is not far behind
With [F]his [C]Excel[G]lency [C]I only say[G]
Hands off the literat[D]ure[F][E][D][E][D][E]
[F][E][D][E][F][E][D]
[A][D][A][D][A][D]
[A][D][A][D][G][D]
[G][D][A][G][A][D][F#][G]
[D]The laurel wreath one gets today
Second hand so to speak

[Verse 2]
From the [D]old [G]Empire's [D]stories
Sold underhand at the [A]Al [D]exander [G]platz
With all the wigs and [D]costumes
[G]Twitching from the [D]shoulder
[G]one is in[A]formed[G]
Well, that's the [D]new times
[G][D][Em][A][D][G]
That's the [D]new times
That's the [G]new [D]tim[G]es[A][D]
[G]New [D]tim[A]es. New[G] tim[D]es.[A]
[G]New [D]tim[G]es.[A]
