Keepsake Bettie Serveert
Subject: CRD: BETTIE SERVEER - Keepsake
About a year ago I went to a Bettie Serveert concert in Amsterdam, Holland.
When the concert was over, I found this paper on stage. It said 'Paint this
day' and it had some chords on it.
Bettie Serveert just released their new album, 'Lamprey', and it's fucking
brilliant. But there's no song called Paint this day on it.
After listening the album a few times, I found out the song on the paper I
foudn was Keepsake, the first song on the album. Since the paper originally
belonged to Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert, I think my
source is quite accurate.
Here's what the paper sais:
Intro: Am G F
[C] [G] [Am] [D] [F]
[Am] [G] [F] [-] [C] [G] [Am] [D] [F]
Chorus: Am C F C
Am G F - Paint this day
Intro: Am G F
[C] [G] [Am] [D] [F]
Chorus: Am C F C
[Am] [G] [F]
[G]G [F]F [C]C D F (2x)
[End]

I found a message of Joop schmit (schmit@bart.nl) here a week ago and it
contained the chords of Keepsake, the first song on the album Lamprey by Bettie
Serveert. As this album is, according to Joop Schmit and me too, fucking
brilliant I decided to find out the lyrics and put these two things together.
It is very hard though to find out lyrics to Bettie Serveert songs, but I think
I fairly succeeded. A few things are missing, but hey: nobody's perfect.
I hope I got everything right.
Many thanks tot Joop Schmit and of course Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie
Serveert. I wish everybody lots of fun playing it.

[Am]Wrapped up in blue
Painted by me and [F]you
Some thought it's [Am]changed by the truth
We [G]somehow keep smil[F]ing through
It's all we got in[C]stead
It sometimes [G]feels so [Am]near
And then I [D]reach out and it just [F]disappears
Intro: Am G F (2x)
[Am]Was it some[G]thing that I [F]said
[F]I feel so many [Am]moods
[Am]Written all ac[G]ross your [F]head
They lie there two and [C]two
It sometimes [G]feels so [Am]near
then I [D]reach out and it just [F]disappears
Intro
[Am]I could [G]smell the fallen [F]rain
I know that's in the [Am]park
[Am]The kind of [G]things you can't ex[F]plain
I feel them in your [C]heart
It sometimes [G]seems so [Am]near
and then I [D]reach out and it just [F]disappears
Chorus:
[Am]Paint this [C]day
[F]Let's keep this one for[C]ever
[Am]Wrap it up in[G]side your [F]heart
[Am]Paint this [C]day
[F]For worse if not for [C]better
[Am]Save it up '[G]till.......[F]..... (?)
'cause [G]that's why I [F]sometimes stay aw[C]ake
[G]Pondering [F]endlessly in [C]reach of under[D]stance
Just for [F]keepsake
Instr.: (?)
Intro
[C]It sometimes [G]seems so [Am]clear
and then I [D]reach out and it just [F]disappears
