Crowded House - Streets Of Amsterdam

amsterdam – crowded house ( capo on 2 or 4 )
verse 1 :
C#m/Bm F#/E
you and me got the whole day off
C#m/Bm B/A
take a trip to vincent van gogh
C#m/Bm F#/E A/G – G#/F#
but the line went halfway round the park
C#m/Bm F#/E
and we’re looking for a place to rest
C#m/Bm B/A
every seat in every bar was set
C#m/Bm F#/E A/G
so we turned back to the grand hotel
bridge 1 :
Em/Dm B7/A7
and the rain came hard
G/F F#/E
a million people on a protest march
Em/Dm B7/A7 B/A
every choice , every path was mistaken
verse 2 :
C #m/Bm F#/E
you and me got the whole thing sussed
C#m/Bm B/A
gray man is shadowing us
C#m/Bm F#/E A/G – G#/F#
wild conspiracies turn to dust
C#m/Bm F#/E
hear the sound of cathedral bells
C#m/Bm B/A
cash ringing at the gates of hell
C#m/Bm F#/E A/G
and fairground hooligans push and swell

chorus :
Em/Dm B7/A7
they’re the darkest days of a free men
D/C A/G
lying in the streets of amsterdam
D/C A/G
nearly fell underneath the tram .
E/D
but i picked myself up
Em/D B7/A7
every temptation and device
D/C A/G
all the diamonds and the spice
D/C B7/A7
i would give anything for the sight
E/D
of an honest man ( hey )

C#m/Bm F#/E
eyes swim in emptiness
C#m/Bm B/A
i was looking at a hotel guest
C#m/Bm F#/E A/G – G#/F#
he blew me a big sarcastic kiss
bridge 2
Em/Dm B7/A7
and the lord walked in
G/F F#/E
with a monocle and lips so thin
Em/Dm B7/A7 B/A
saw the barman wink as he poured his brandy

chorus :
Em/Dm B7/A7
they’re the darkest days of a free men
D/C A/G
lying in the streets of amsterdam
D/C A/G
nearly fell underneath the tram

but i picked myself up
Em/D B7/A7
every temptation and device
D/C A/G
all the diamonds and the spice

i would give anything for the sight
E/D
of an honest man
