[Verse 1]
G C D
I sit here by the wall, and the notice makes no sense at all
G
'Cause it's written in Albanian, and to my regret,
C D G
I haven't learned that language yet, so I sit down next to you,
C D
By the Adriatic blue,
G C D
And I gaze into your eyes, and a seagull soars in Albanian skies,
C D G C
And then I close my mind's eye, and I'm back on a train to Wales,
D G C
Two hours from Aberystwyth, on the heavy metal rails
C D G D
And every stop is neatly planned, for a poet and a one-man band
G C D G
Well that's not always true, but it's a nice lie, and I meant it just for you
[Verse 2]
G C D
The fire burns as intensely now as it did on that first day
G C D
And we'd rather talk than watch TV, it's always been that way
G C D
Yes, I'm a wandering minstrel, with a world to wander through
G C D
But wherever I go, I love the thought, of wandering back to you
C D G C
I love your glorious sovereignty, your womanhood, your style
D G C
We both know just how hard it gets when we've been apart a while
D C D
And all our friends have seen and known how our great love story has grown
C D C D
Through all the years of happiness which make our history
G
And I'll see you in Tirana, I'll see you in Tirana
C D
Under skies of azure blue
G
Yeah, I'll see you in Tirana, I'll see you in Tirana
C D
Where our final dream comes true
C D C D
You stretch my mind, and you inspire, the pinnacle of my desire
G C D G
No borders block the way, I crossed them all the day I came to you
[Verse 3]
G C D
There's a dozen so-called love songs, in every corporate chart
G C D
Just cliché words to a flimsy tune, all barren sheet, no heart
G C D
So I never went much on love songs, thought most were a crunching bore
G C D C
But here's a first, from me to you, I've never written one before
D C D
And there's a place for us, in every place, a place for us
C D C D
Here at home or far away, 'cause in my mind today
G
I'll see you in Tirana, I'll see you in Tirana
C D
Under skies of azure blue
G
Yeah, I'll see you in Tirana, I'll see you in Tirana
C D
Where our final dream comes true
C D C D
And one last word from your young man, let's drain every last drop we can
G C D G
For this is our finest hour, and you're magnificent, and I wrote this song for you
