The Dream Before Chords by Laurie Anderson

[Bb] _ Ansel _ and Gretel are alive _ and well _
[Eb] And they're [Bb] living in _ Berlin
_ _ _ [F] She is a cocktail waitress
[Bb] _ _
He had a part in a _ Fassbinder _ film
_ _ And [F] they sit around at night now _
_ _ [Bb] Drinking _ schnapps and gin
_ And she says
_ _ [F] Ansel, you're really bringing me down
_ _ And he says
_ [Bb] Gretel, _ you can really be [F] a bitch _ _
_ _ [Bb] He says I've wasted my life
On our stupid _ _ _ legend
When _ _ my one and [F] only love
_ _ _ _ Was the [Eb] _
wicked [Bb] _ witch
She _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ said, what is his story?
_ _ _ And he said
_ _ _ His story is an angel _ being [F] blown _
_ _ Backwards into [Bb] the future _
He _ _ said his story is [Eb] a pile of [F] debris
And _ _ [Bb] the angel wants to go back
_ And fix things _
To repair the things that have been [F] broken
_ But _ [Bb] there's a storm
_ _ _ _ Blowing _ From _ _ Paris _ _ _
And the storm keeps blowing the angel
_ _ [F] Backwards _ _ into [Bb] the _ future
And _ _ this storm
_ This _ _ _ [F] _ storm Is _ _ _ _ called
_ [Eb] France
