Midnight Choir was a Norwegian indie/alternative rock band active from 1992 to 2004. Its members were: Al DeLoner (Atle Byström), Paal Flaata, and Ron Olsen. They played a kind of Americana music. The band was named after the opening of Leonard Cohen's song "Bird on a Wire": "Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir." Midnight Choir won the Norwegian award Spellemannprisen in 1998 for best rock album, Amsterdam Stranded.

Tuning: standard
One of my favourite songs, from their "Amsterdam stranded"-album. Played on piano on the recording, but works just as well on a guitar.
Chords: Am: 002210 F: 133211 G: 355433
Intro: Am
Verse 1: Am As I drink too much, as I scream out of lust GFGAm At the moon for someone to touch me
Verse 2: Am As I fail to please, what the moon won't ease GFGAm I can't sit still from running wild
Verse 3: Am As I wipe my past for something good to last GFGAm As demons are crawling under my skin
Verse 4: Am As I walk away there's nothing to do but pray GFGAm That Maria will take me in her arms
Chorus: FGAm At the mercy of Maria FGAm Where I lay my aching head FGAm At the mercy of Maria FGAm Will I find my resting place
