[E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ The springtime is [E] in Kosovo, and [F#] _ _
people [E] pull down the shades.
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ It's easy enough for [E] us to look at each other and [F#] wonder _ [E] why we _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] are here.
Rain _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] comes [E] with morsels, _ [F#] but the sounds of [E] slamming doors.
[B] _ _ [C#m] Doors have [F#] doors have doors, [B] and doors [F#] have doors like companions have [B] pets.
[F#m] They snoop in each [E] other's mattresses [F#] like _ _ [E] maggots in despair,
[F#] and breed on each [E] other's nests, and they [F#] make a mess of [E] each other's snares.
[F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ Strange [E] times in Kosovo, _ [F#m] _ strange times.

_ [B] _ [F#m] They make some _
_ [E] frustrations [B] of the couple.
[F#] And only those that [E] are satisfied by [B] friendship would _ [F#m] even pay [E] attention to it [B] all.
It [F#m] comes like _ [B] mail, _ _ _ [F#] telegram, gram, gram, gram, [B] gram, gram, [F#] gram,
smoke, gas, [E] gram, gram, [B] gram, to [F#] the wall.
_ [B] _ _ Strange [F#] times. _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] You get something in your nose on that bit.
[E] _ _ _ [F#] They come as a suspect.
[E] _ _ As a widow [F#] in heat.
_ [E] As a widow in [F#m] receiving heat.
And [E] they're content.
_ _ [F#] _ And the livers [E] of the titan of Kerala,
[F#] the stile even in the horns [E] of the swarming dogs
under the name [F#m] of _ _
[E] _ Kagalaya.
We [B] are _ [F#] broken friends.
_ Savage fingers [F#m] _ _
undertaking [B] _ _ [F#] catamaran.
_ Broken [B] man.
Savage [A] fingers undertaking _ _ _ _ _ catamaran. _

_ [E] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] We've turned our back on the [E] force before.
[B] _ _ [F#] _ And [B] we're here _ across [F#] the waters.
[A] _ _ What the damage [F#] it will cause [E] us.
_ _ [F#] And you can smash once more.
You can smash [E] once more.
_ [F#m] That's not what, [A] _ what, what's [F#] more. _ _
[E] _ _ _ I [F#m] don't think anybody wants to [B] see this _ _ [F#] anymore. _
