Amsterdam Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh I just came back from Haarlem
On the very last day of Autumn
Made it through the customs,
took the bus into [A]town
[Em]The flat looked cold and empty
The [C]chairs unused and dusty
Just a [A]few old letters and
papers lying [D]around
The Dutch people were friendly
You know they put me up and they fed me
All along a tour of one night [G]stands
[Gm]All my days and all my ways
Are [D]so confused
I tell you right new
[A]I'm going to make it
back to Amsterdam
[D]

[Verse 2]
And you can feel [Bm]fine [E]anytime
You choose to [A]lose yourself for a [D]while
Bottle of [G]wine
In [A]some back street [Bm]cafe[A]
Or out on the street,
[Bm]there's a ch[E]ance
For you to [A]meet
anybody you [D]please
Taking the [G]time
To [E]ease your blues away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]
[D]Fred was a crazy driver
He took us at a hundred miles an hour
Down a side street out of
a traffic [G]jam
[Gm]All my days and all my ways
Are [D]so bemused
I tell you right [A]now

[Interlude 1]
I'm going to make it back to Amsterdam
[D][Bm][E][A]
[D][G][A][B][A][Bm][E]
[A][D][G][E][G][A]

[Verse 4]
Oh [D]I just came back from Haarlem
And the very thing I was wanting
Was to find some way to let
you know how I [A]felt
You [Em]can't say much in an evening
If you [C]know you'll soon be leaving
There's [A]not much time to talk,
and it's maybe as [D]well
But I wanted to give you something
Because you knew you really helped me
So I've written you a song with
a small West Indian [G]band
And though [Gm]it seems some days
that all my ways are
[D]Bound to lose
I tell you right [A]now
I'm going to make it back
to Amsterdam
[D]

[Verse 5]
Amsterdam
[Bm]Amsterdam
[E]Amsterdam
[G]Pah- pa- pa- pah
[D]
