Switzerland
by The Last Bison
Tabbed by Andy Frey
*Note: You can play these chords in their standard chord shapes but they all sound
great as an E-shape power chord, except for C#m which needs to be played in its
standard barre chord shape.

(Play tab over vocals)
We tried to sleep up in the banks of snow
But soon discovered it was far too cold
So we then retreated into town
To find a place where there was level ground
A-a-ah a-a-ah
Call home
O-o-o-oh o-o-oh
Call home
Oh oh Switzerland you ve taken way my breath now once again
You ve left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can t pick themselves up of the ground
Oh Switzerland I never thought I d have you as a friend
I m praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
(Intro picking)
Our drinks were hardly worth the price we paid
But we thank God for them anyway
With five minutes left we broke our backs
To spend more money than either of us had
A-a-ah A-a-ah
Call home
O-o-o-oh o-o-oh
Go home
Oh oh Switzerland you ve taken way my breath now once again
You ve left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can t pick themselves up of the ground
Oh Switzerland I never thought I d have you as a friend
I m praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
Instrumental Break: Alternate C#m and E
(start slow and gradualy pick up speed)
Oh oh Switzerland you ve taken way my breath now once again
You ve left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can t pick themselves up of the ground
Oh Switzerland I never thought I d have you as a friend
I m praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
Oh oh Switzerland you ve taken way my breath now once again
You ve left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can t pick themselves up of the ground
Oh Switzerland I never thought I d have you as a friend
I m praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
