Bm
How can I, that girl standing there,
G     A       D
My attention fix
    F#
On Roman or on Russian
        Bm               F#
Or on Spanish politics?
Bm
Yet here's a travelled man who (that) knows
G        A     D
What he talks about,
F#
And there's a politician
That has read and thought,
           Bm                G
And maybe what they say is true
            D
Of war and war's alarms,

           Bm             G
But O that I were young again
              D
And held her in my arms!
