F  C  G  C

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine

[Verse]
G                         C
Finished our food and got into the wagon
   D                           G
To drive eighty miles and then do the show
                        C
Five hours later, we're still busy trucking
F           C              G             C
Banging and bumping, don't know where to go

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine

[Verse]
G                        C
Got to the gig, although nobody else did
D                     G
Set up the gear and began to play
                          C
Farmers and soldiers just standing and staring
F           C            G           C
Just didn't know what to make of the day

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine

[Verse]
G                          C
Finished the last song and made for the exit
        D                    G
But the manager man had come up from the sticks
                                       C
He said, "Why ain't you dressed like a poofter ensemble
F         C        G           C
Leaping pianos and waving your legs?"

[Verse]
G                          C
Dear Mr Hilter, we've been meaning to tell you
     D                        G
It's really quite simple, you don't have to fear
                              C
We ain't your Rolling Stones, we ain't your T-Rex
F         C          G            C
Actually, we're only here for the beer

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine

[Verse]
G                   C
Into the van again, out on the highway
D                    G
Back to our hotel to take a rest
                          C
Everyone's swigging their Egri Bikavér
       F           C        G       C
Things really were funny in old Budapest

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine

[Chorus]
F                      C
Oh, what a time we had down by the Danube
F          C           D7           G
Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine
F                        C
Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms
F        C         G                C
Everyone happy and things were just fine
