Here's another simple one, using only three repeating chords for the whole song. In this country, the duo
decides to make a change in their diet and eat some thinly-slide potato wedges that have been cooked in
hot oil, a staple food apparently referred to as "fries."

GHOST MICE: EUROPE
"Italy"
GSo there we were in the Dheart
Where Ceverything that we know got its Gstart
CThen it all fell aDpart
Well I Gguess that's what you Cget
When you Cspread yoursDelf too tGhin
But we had Gbigger fish to Dfry
Like Cfindin' a place to Gsleep at night
I Cbought a slice of Dpizza
Just to Gtry and kill some Ctime
And for a Cminute everyDthing was Gfine
We had a Gnumber in our Dnotebook
But it was Cway too late to Gcall
It was Cwell after Dmidnight
When our Gtrain passed through the city Cwalls
We didn't Cknow this Dgirl at Gall
So Gwe got out our Dtravel book
To Cread about the Gneighborhood
CSaid it wasn't very Dgood
But it Gfelt alright to Cme
All I Cwanted to Ddo was go toG sleep
So we Gwalked around the Dcorner
And we Cfound a cheap Gmotel
We Gknew we couldn't Dafford it
But we Csaid, "GOh well"
When you've been Con the train all Gday
In a big Ccity in a new counGtry
You're real Ctired and it's Glate
Sometimes it's Cbetter just to Gpay
That's the Dway it goes
DSometimes you know
DIt'd be okay
DAnd after Call we Dwere in GRome
Well Git had been a long Dtime
Since Cwe had slept inGside
We Cwoke up late the Dnext day
And the Gsun was shining Cbright
We Cpaid our bill, we cDried, we went outGside
Now they Ggot their bread and Dcircus
And I guess Cso do Gwe
But Cthey got theirs for Dfree
I think that Gwe're bein' ripped Coff
We must deCstroy all emDpires at any Gcost
When you're Gstandin' in a Dtemple
Of a long-gone CGod it seems so Gsimple
CEverybody Ddies, no Gmatter who you Care
From far eCnough away our sun is Djust another Gstar
And the Gstatue of Moses Dthat we saw
Had Chorns on his head and was Geight feet tall
CMaybe that was the Dcase,
No it's Gnot our place to Csay
CMaybe some things Djust don't transGlate
GWe called up this Dgirl
Who had Cordered a CGD
She was the Cfirst from ItaGly
And we Dasked for hospiGtality
CShe said we could Gstay Cat her parents' Gplace
They Cwere so sweet to Gus
It was so Cnice to meet a Gpunk
She took good Dcare of you and me
DShe bought us soy ice cream
DHer mom cooked dinner every night
It was so Chard for Dus to Gleave
GAnd the stray dogs of PomDpey
CWere our guides that Gday
CThey became our friends,
DWe were a lot like them
They Gtaught us many Cthings
CAnd all they wanted was some Dfood for their Gpay
GThen we went to the Dcoast
Where the Croads are wound so Gclose
And the Cbuses bounce from Dside-to-side
We Gthought that we might Cdie
CWe couldn't find a place to Dsleep at all that Gnight
GThe city filled with Dscooters
Held so Cmany mysterGies
I Gsaw the weirdest Dthing there
That I Cthink I'll ever Gsee
It was a Cpizza topped with Goctopus,
A Cwhole arm on each Gslice
CBut I got my dinner Gthere
It was a Cpizza topped with Gfries
And DItaly was nice
DMade us feel right at home
DOur money's in the fountain
And we Cwill reDturn to GRome
