New Amsterdam/You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Elvis Costello/Lennon and McCartney

[New Amsterdam]

G Em C G
You're sending me tulips, mistaken for lilies,
G Em F D
You give me your lip after punching me silly,
G Em C G
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain,
G Em F D
If I had any sense now, I wouldn't want it back again.

G Bb Am G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,
G Bb Am G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
G Bb Am G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
G Bb Am G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?

G Em C G
Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock,
G Em F D
Clock all the faces that move in on your block,
G Em C G
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten,
G Em F D
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written.

G Bb Am G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,
G Bb Am G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
G Bb Am G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
G Bb Am G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?

E E A E
Like, in London, they'll take you to heart after a little while,
E E C D D/C D/B D/A
Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile.

[You've Got to Hide Your Love Away]

G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
Here I stand with head in hand
C Fadd9 C
Turn my face to the wall
G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
If she's gone I can't go on
C Fadd9 C D
Feeling two foot sma - a - all

G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
Everywhere peo - ple stare
C Fadd9 C
Each and every day
G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
I can see them laugh at me
C Fadd9 C D D/C D/B D/A
And I hear them say - ay - ay

G C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
G C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
How can I e - ven try
C Fadd9 C
I can never win
G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
Hearing them, see - ing them
C Fadd9 C D
In the state I'm i - i in

G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
How could she say to me
C Fadd9 C
"Love will find a way"
G Dsus4 Fadd9 C/E G
Gather 'round, all you clowns
C Fadd9 C D D/C D/B D/A
Let me hear you say - ay - ay

G C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
G C Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

[New Amsterdam]

G Em C G
Somehow I found myself down at the dockside,
G Em F D
Thinking about the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhithe,
G Em C G
Transparent people who live on the other side,
G Em F D
Living a life that is almost like suicide,

G Bb Am G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,
G Bb Am G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
G Bb Am G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
G Bb Am G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
