Notes about this song:

  • I've got 2 different versions but since I'm not sure which of them is better I include them both.
  • Fredrik's version is in standard tuning.
  • Richie's version is in D-modal tuning.
  • Due to the modal tuning, the chords are slightly different -- but the main chord progression is of course the same.

Dm7
  Just like a young boy running down the road

  I'm singing out the same old song
Dm7
  Can't go back the way I started from

  The road goes on and on

  Take my way on home

  After Berlin.

Solo (over Dm7 Bb)

Lights are shining in the German sky
Cosmic walls between the moon and I
Don't know where I started from
So won't you take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Just the way I am
Ah, take me, just the way I am
After Berlin.

Solo (over Dm7 Bb)

Intro

All day cruising down the corridor
Seeing things I never seen before
Tomorrow morning in old Berlin
Where they lock you out or lock you in
Won't you save me, save me, save me, save me,
Save me, save me, save me, save me,
From the final day
Save me from the final day
After Berlin.

Solo (over Dm7 Bb)

Just like a young boy running down the road
I'm singing out the same old song
I can't go back the way I used to go
The road goes on and on
Won't you help me, help me, help me, help me,
Help me, help me, help me, help me,
Find my way back home
Won't you help me make my way on home
After Berlin.

Solo (over Dm7 Bb)

Dm7
Help me, help me, help me, help me.

Bb
Help me, help me, help me, help me.
Help me, help me, help me, help me.
