Topic: "Amsterdam"
This came about from a trip to Amsterdam last August. It was my first real holiday away from home with some mates, and it came about from just enjoying the relaxed way of life in Amsterdam!
I've fiddled about with the lyrics for ages, and i'm still not satisfied with them, but what the hell.
n.b. - Just a note - I had my pinky finger amputated after an accident as a kid, so as a general rule, I can only use basic chords for 3 fingers!!!
Here goes, and, its my first ever completed song, so be nice!!!
{Amsterdam}
[D]We're here, [A]down in Amsterdam.
[Em]No-one comes near, [G]they don't understand. [Cadd9]
[G]I don't care, [G/F#]what they think,
Or i'd [G/B]share a drink with [Cadd9]them.
[G]But we're here, [D]down in Amster[G]dam.
[Am] [Bm] [Fmaj7] [C]
[Am] [Bm][G] [D] [G]
[D]There's rolling fields, [A]but they don't interest us.
[Em]Do we use to wheels, [G]or do we get the bus?
[D]The street lights all turn red, [A]and they air turns green.
[Em]But its all in my head, [G]you know what I mean? [Cadd9]
[G]I don't know, [G/F#]I don't care,
[G/B]What others think of, [Cadd9]how i fare,
[G]But we're here, [D]down in Amster[G]dam.
[Am] [Bm] [C] [E]
[Am] [Bm] [G] [D] [G]
[G]Yeah, we're here, [D]down in Amster[G]dam.
[G] [D] [G]
