Keepsake Bettie Serveert
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 f**king
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]
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, f**king
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.
Keepsake
by Bettie Serveert
[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]..... (?)

[G]Pondering [F]endlessly in [C]reach of under[D]stance
Just for [F]keepsake

and then I [D]reach out and it just [F]disappears
