Standard (EADGBE)

You have to understand the way I am, Mein Herr

 A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, Mein Herr

 You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, Mein Herr

So I do...

What I do...

When I'm through...

Then I'm through...

And I'm through...

Toodle-oo!

 Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr

Farewell, Mein Lieber Herr

It was a fine affair

 But now it's over

And though I used to care

I need the open air Am

You're better off without me, Mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr

Or wonder why, Mein Herr E

I've always told you I was a rover

You mustn't knit your brow

You should have known by now Am

You'd every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr

(slower now)

 The continent of Europe is so wide, Mein Herr

Not only up and down,

 but side to side, Mein Herr

 I couldn't ever cross it

if I tried, Mein Herr

(again with the tab part above)

So I do...

What I can...

Inch by inch...

Step by step...

Mile by mile...

Man by man

(faster strumming now)

 Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr

Farewell, Mein Lieber Herr

It was a fine affair

 But now it's over

And though I used to care

I need the open air Am

You're better off without me, Mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr

Or wonder why, Mein Herr E

I've always told you I was a rover

You mustn't knit your brow

You should have known by now Am

You'd every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr

Auf wiedersehen... Bye bye mein Herr!
