VIRTOUSI: It's really most pretentious and worth playing even if you don't
know the song and are not into krautrock... (The corresponding chords are my
own interpretation which is a kind of hobby of mine  - RG)

II. The original song

After the INTRO the song starts like this (lyrics are Cologne German,
an English translation is provided at the bottom! - RG):

  1.                                                        * Hochdeutsch:

      Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.

III. Now the English interpretation, quite crude, I must admit. As for its
     contents: it's not meant to be politically, but just a plain story about
     an old tramp from Cologne creating his own, probably past in order to
     dispace bad remembrances (check it out):

 1.

  Ahn der Vringspooz(*) triffsten                           * Am Severinstor
> You meet him at Severin's Gate(#)                         # Sight in Cologne

      jo, d Jupp trick jraad sing Sejel huh(*)            * zieht gerade  \
>     yeah, ole Yupp's about to set his sail                \sein Segel hoch\

      un h nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls meint er et       * und er nimmt...
>     and you're taken along - so he thinks, anyway

                F               C
      un h verzllt sich fruh(*).                         * erzhlt sich froh

                                                             by telling stories

2.
  Om Projamm(*) steiht Weltreis.                           * auf dem Programm
> The programme reads "globe trip"

  Wie jeden Daach verzllte(*), wat ihm wo passiert ess    * Tag erzhlt er

>     in his own world set, totally alone

      oh Mann, wer kann dat schon?
>     oh man, who would be able to?


4.

(followed by Electric Guitar Solo.)

I hope there is some positive resonance for this song. If you have ideas of
how to create a more apt English translation (I'm not a native Engish speaker)
you are welcome.
