Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Gsus4][G][F][Em]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]rain
falls down in
Amsterdam, [G]the streets are
wet and [Gsus4]black
[F]Midnight's like
November by the [Em]glow of a cigarette
The [Am]girls on hash in
Station
Square look[F]ing stupid from the drugs
When
Mar[G]lena heard the boots [Gsus4]march,
[G]there were [Em]reasons to be dumb
Shiny [Am]hel mets in the shadows,
those [F]trains that left at night
Those [Am]hiding in the cellars,
those [F]eyes afraid of light
[Gsus4]Something [Am]neath the borders
[F]poured poison in the well
[G]Ah, the creature has uncoiled and
is crawling [Am]up from hell
[G]Here [D]comes 191[Am]4, 1932
Those [G]cattle cars and yellow stars,
[Am]it's right back to the roots
It's [D]moving in the open with
[Am]a snarl and a growl
The [G]cages have been broken and the
beast [Am]is on the prowl
Firebomb those houses,
[G]burn those refugees
[F]Be the crowd and do your work,
ap[Em]plauding silently
[Am]Round up all the gypsies,
and [F]go sell them on the trees
[G]Can't you smell the smoke now,
[Em]drifting through the rain?
Jew[Am]s better draw your curtains,
you better [F]lock your doors up tight
[Gsus4]They're s[Am]narling up in raw stock,
[Em]in the b[F]eer hall belly nights
[Gsus4]The fourt[Am]h rag's coming baby,
they're [F]writing out the page
[Gsus4]They're r[G]umblin' in
Stockholm
Yeah, the beast has left the [Am]cage
[D]Here comes 1932
[Am]Here comes déjà vu
[G]Those cattle cars [Gsus4]and yellow s[G]tars
Was there [Am]someone that you knew?
It's [D]right there in the open
[Am]Something smellin' bad
All the [G]cages have been broken,
[Gsus4]and the b[G]east is a -runnin[F]' mad[Am]
Those canals and cozy houses,
those re[G]flections in the lights
You can [F]almost feel it movin',
the [E]monster in the night
[Em]It's [Am]lookin' with its yellow eyes,
it's [F]out to settle scores
In the [G]dim medieval distance,
feel it [Em]breathing down your pores
In
Salt
[Am]Lake and in
Rio, yeah the [F]beast can smell the flames
[G]It's a [Am]faxin' hate out in
Mar[Em]seille, [Am]typing [F]out your name
You [Gsus4]can hear [Am]the windows shatter as
[Em]the time[F] is drawing near[Gsus4]
[F]The
[Gsus4]Kristalln[G]acht's come to town,
welcome back to the house of mir[Am]rors[A][Am][D][Dm][Am]
The [G]fire and the armbands and
the [Am]iron arm salutes
[G]Pointing to the scapegoats,
is it [E]me or was it you?
[Am]It's right there in the open,
[G]don't you stand a hopin'
The [F]leashes have been broken and
the [G]dogs are on the [Am]loose[G][Am]
Now I have been here thinkin'
how [G]lucky [Am]I have bee[G]n
[Gsus4]I never t[G]ouc[F]hed the barbed wire,
I never [Em]saw the monkey grin
No [Am]rifle ever smashed my face,
no [F]bare electric shock
But [G]I'll confess of all I know,
who I [Em]am and who I'm not
To [Am]see retired killers is
[F]to see the lion yawn
The [Am]skinheads do that dirty work for
the [F]cloak and dagger pawns
[G]The [Am]dark eyes will be waiting there
when the [F]borders they are crossed
So [G]keep your filthy swastikas
and shove your [Am]iron craws
[D]Here comes 1914 [Am]and 1932
Those [G]cattle cars and yellow stars
It's [Am]right back to the roots
It's [D]out there in the open
It's [Am]crawling on the move
The [G]cages have been broken and the
beast is on the [Am]loose[Am]
Can't you smell the blood now?
[G]Can't you smell the truth?
Oh, the rain [G]falls down [Am]in
Amsterdam
The rain falls down [G]in
Amsterdam
[Am]Oh, the rain falls down in
Amsterdam
Yeah, the rain falls down [Em]in
