MASCHEN-DRAHT-ZAUN, 1
(Gesprochen : )
C - G - C                                  A
             Dieser Song ist für alle die harten Männer da draußen, 
         D                               G
    die Tag für Tag bis zur totalen Erschöpfung Meter um Meter
     F           D                 C                 A
    Maschendrahtzaun aufstellen, ständig unter der blanken Angst, 
D              G                     C            - G
    dass ein Knall-Erbsen-Strauch hineinwächst.

1. I'm a little song-writer, I'm a real tough guy,
                 D                      G
    I tell you, living ain't easy, but every day I try.
          F               D            C         A
    I've seen a million places, maybe I'll get around
            D           G        C        G    C
    with a six-pack of beer and Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

          C                         A
2. I'm a hard-working man, I don't need much in life,
              D                        G
    I got my horse, I got my boots, a hat and a knife.
     F            D        C         A
    All I really need can surely be found,
            D              G         C        G    C
    I need girls, I need whisky and Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

 F
Maschen-Draht-Zaun in the morning,
 C
Maschen-Draht-Zaun late at night,
 F
Maschen-Draht-Zaun in the evening,
 G                           G7
Maschen-Draht-Zaun makes me feel alright.
          F       D       C         A
And if I ever be king and I get a crown,
               D         G       C        G    C
then it would surely be made of Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

            C                           A
3. All the ladies wanna have me, I'm a handsome boy,
                 D                             G
    and all the boys want me, too, especially Sigfried and Roy.
           F            D                C                 A
    I'm a sex-machine, baby, I had more girls than James Brown,
           D           G          C        G    C
    and I fucked them all on the Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

4. But now the time has gone by and something happened to me,
              D              G
    I'm only half the man I used to be.
               F       D           C        A
    I was the sexiest man in the whole big town,
              D         G            C        G    C
    before I ripped my balls on the Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

5. I like all kinds of food, I like all kinds of beer,
               D                           G
    and I was born  with a six-pack in my hand right here.
             F             D                  C            A
    I love steaks, I love Burgers, I love Kentucky Fried Chicken,
         D                G                C    - - - - 
    but one thing I love best and that is  -    Ficken!

         C                              A
6. "Skandal!" shouted some one and is probably right,
                  D                G
    but that' s exactly what I do all through the night.
              F                 D            C           A
    I have a   Ochsenpimmel  , yeah,  and I like to get down,
            D          G          C       G   C
    with a big, booby baby and a Maschendrahtzaun.  + REFRAIN

7. I was also a Sheriff, I was fighting for right,
              D                           G
    I was protecting law and order every day, every night.
           F         D          C       A
    I was hunting a man with a big fat Bauch,
           D                 G          C    G        C
    and I caught him in the back of a Knall-Erbsen-Strauch.

        C                              A
8. But now the story is over, I had a     good, good life,
        D                     G
    I still got my horse, my boots and my knife.
       F             D              C            A
    I did a lot of travelling, but now I settle down,
             D             G            C        G    C
    at the Knall-Erbsen-Strauch on the Maschen-Draht-Zaun.

                             D         G       C        G    C
+ REFRAIN  +  then it would surely be made of Maschen-Draht-Zaun,
                   D         G       C        G    C
    then it would surely be made of Maschen-Draht-Zaun, yeah !
