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
