Dm                  C
We took off that sunny day
Packed our things and went away
Me and friends in daddy's car
To find out how summers are

Fmaj7            Gm          Fm          C
Found a card to send from wherever we went

Chorus:
      Am            Gm
From Luxembourg to Rome
      F              C
from Berlin to the moon
      Am          Gm
from Paris to Lausanne
     F              C
from Athens to the sun
    Am             Gm
our car became a spacecraft
  F                   C
flashing through the world
         Am            Gm F E7 A7
crashed down in Amsterdam

Found a card to send from wherever we went

Chorus

We'll take off some rainy day
Pack our things and go away
Families and hotel bars
To find out how summers are

Found a card to send from wherever we went

Chorus
