song : wirklich schon wieder ein jahr
artist : reinhard mey
album :
lyrics :

tuning : eadgbe ( normal )

today , i’m gonna submit a german song acctually . i heard it in my german class , and
i thought it was a quite nice little tune . i downloaded the song ( wirklich schon wieder ein
jahr ) and some other songs by mr . mey . he’s got alot of good stuff , so you better check
out .

i’m just gonna show the way of playing the song at the 2 first verses , because it goes the
same way at the other verses too . the song ends with A C and A G .

the tones inside these – > ( ) are optional .

the song uses plain old travis – picking .
like this :
E | – ( 0 ) – – – – – – – – – ( 0 ) – – | i like hitting the lightest E – string , because it
B | – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – | sounds good , but you don’t have to .
G | – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – |
D | – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | – – 0 – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – |

the choir singing , but i think it’s like this .

riff1 x2
ist das schon so lange her? wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?
riff2 x2
noch weht mir der wind von der see her entgegen , noch finde ich sand in meinen
und
riff3
dunengras in meinem haar ,
riff4
spur’ auf den lippen das meer;
riff5
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?
riff6
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?

riff7
ist es schon wieder so spat?
riff2 x2
mir taut noch der vorjahrsschnee von meiner mutze um meine schuhe entsteht eine pfutze
riff3
auf dem gewachsten parkett
riff4
werd ich den winter gewahr .
riff5
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?

wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr? ist also morgen schon heut?
noch schwirren vom vorigen sommer die mucken um meinen kopf ,
meine finger zerpflucken akazienblatter , zerstreut :
ein wenig , von herzen . . . ist’s wahr?
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?

die tage hab ich nicht gezahlt .
noch raschelt verwelktes laub unter den schritten ,
im vorigen herbst von der hecke geschnitten .
noch glimmt erntefeuer im feld ,
flammenlos , kaum wahrnehmbar . wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?

bin immer noch , der ich war . erwachsener werd ich wohl nicht .
ich hab einen jahresring mehr wie die baume ,
eine dickere rinde , ein paar neue traume und lachfalten mehr im gesicht . wirklich , schon
ein jahr?
wirklich , schon wieder ein jahr?
