Biography:
Midnight Choir were a Norwegian band that sounded a little like Tindersticks or The Walkabouts. Walkabouts member Chris Eckman actually produced all Midnight Choir albums with exception of the self titled debut record.
Members were Al DeLoner (born Atle Byström), Paal Flaata and Ron Olsen.
Midnight Choir were founded - as Hashbrowns - in 1992.
The band's name stems from the Leonard Cohen song "Bird on the Wire".
The 1998 album "Amsterdam Stranded" won the band a best rock album of the year award in their native Norway.

A beautiful song by the (now sadly disbanded) Norwegian band Midnight Choir, from
their "Amsterdam stranded"-album. Originally on piano, the tab here arranged for
guitar. Listen to the record to get the timing of the chords.
Tuning: standard
Verse 1:
Em D
Down the muddy harbour for many a restless night have I been walking
Em D
Down the muddy harbour for many a restless night have I found myself talking
C D
And much to my surprise I found that I've been wrong for so long now
C D
I found that I've been wrong. I found that I have been wrong for so long now
G/C Em D
When it comes down to this
Verse 2:
Em D
I've been to NY city, I've seen the world at large and its hurting
Em D
It took a lot of pain to get me where I am, that's for certain
C D
I felt the arms of God, I felt the devil's kisses in the nighttime
C D
I thought I've seen it all, just to watch it fall like curtains
G/C Em D
Just to watch it come down to this
Verse 3:
Em D
Well, I'm Amsterdam stranded, and it's taken for granted that I'm singing
Em D
But one of these days I will be leaving
C D
I got leaving on my mind, I'm gonna leave it all behind that's for certain
C D
I'm tired of wasting time, chasing this high. Oh, sweet burden
G/C Em
How did we end up like this
Outro:
D C D Em C D Em C D Em
