Intro Am 

         Am       F6      E7           F#m7(5-) 
After another production of (The Flying Dutchman) 
  Eb°    Dm7      E7 
I landed in Berlin 
          Am       G7             G7   C 
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it 
      Am          F        E7 
And wonder what state I'm in 
 Am           F6         G7           C7 
Sissi was the anarchist empress of Austria 
    Eb°           Dm7                E7 
And I was in the same state that she was in 
          F      G7                   C C7 
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it 
     F      Am     F7       Am         E7 
And wheeere the... heeell's that... fan 

 E7     E7      Am             B7       Dbm7(b5) 
After another induction to the hall of famine 
  Bb°        Am   B7 
I closed the magazine 
          Em      F#m7(5-)      D7        G 
Thinking over and over it how can I get over it 
  Em       Am          B7 
And be German and mean 
 Em          C          D7         G7 
Jenny was a pirate and Jane was beheaded 
    Bb°         Am7        B7 
And Nina was a sweet nymphomaniac 
          C          D7         D7               G 
And with them in my corner I'm sure that it's a tall order 
   C7    C    C7  C  G 
To find that perfect man 

    G                Dm 
I'm doing all that I can 
  Dm                   G              Dm 
Trying to make all the roses bloom in unison 
 G                      Dm 
Say I'm gonna blow you away 
 Dm                G              Dm 
Making all of the roses bloom so step away 
Dm                 G  F9/A  C      G 
Making all of the  roooses  bloom 

 G      Em       C             B7        Dbm7(b5) 
After another unveiling of the bright red herring 
 Bb°          Am7      B7 
I walked down Rufus Street 
B7         Em     D7           D7      G 
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it 
     Em7               Am7      B7 
And where in the world will I meet 
B7   Bm7 G6 Am7 D7 Ab°  E°     E°  Em7 
That liiiteerary, lean, stripe suited 
Em7       C6     Db6            D/A# 
Love I've read about all of my life 
         G         C        F#7 
Which I fear is a ruse and explains 
F#7      G     C6     F    G    C7     F#°  B7 
All the walks through all the parks of Eeeeurope 
G6        F          F#          G 
And why I never will tell you (I love you) 
    Ab/E          A 
And why there is just but 
   Bb        C    C7  G 
A vision of peeerfect man 

G                    Dm 
I'm doing all that I can 
Dm                G              Dm 
Making all of the roses bloom in unison 
G                      Dm 
Say I'm gonna blow you away 
Dm                G                Dm7 
Making all of the roses bloom so step away 
C9       C9      D7 
And be dazzled 
 D7               F6    C  G 
Making all of the rooooses bloom
