Streets Of Amsterdam Chords

   
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  - Ab/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  - Ab/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)

Solo: Capo2:  Em B7 / G F/ Em  B7   B 

Solo: Capo 4: Dm A7/  F  E / Dm A7 B

Verse 3:
 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  - Ab/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
       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
