La banda holandesa de pop-rock Bettie Serveert, llamada así por un manual educativo de la tenista Bettie Stoeve, se hizo popular en su tierra y en radios universitarias americanas con su debut “Palomine” de 1992. Su primera formación fue compuesta por Carol van Djik (voz y guitarra), Peter Visser (guitarra), Herman Bunskoeke (bajo) y Berend Dubbe (batería), se formó originalmente en 1986, pero se separaron después de sólo un concierto. Se reformó en 1990 y lanzó su álbum debut, Palomine, en 1992.

About a year ago I went to a Bettie Serveert concert in Amsterdam, Holland. When the concert was over, I found this paper on stage. It said 'Paint this day' and it had some chords on it. Bettie Serveert just released their new album, 'Lamprey', and it's fucking brilliant. But there's no song called Paint this day on it. After listening the album a few times, I found out the song on the paper I foudn was Keepsake, the first song on the album. Since the paper originally belonged to Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert, I think my source is quite accurate. Here's what the paper sais:
Intro: AmGF
CGAmDF AmGF - CGAmDF
Chorus: AmCFC Am G F - Paint this day
Intro: AmGF

Chorus: AmCFC AmGF

I found a message of Joop schmit ([email protected]) here a week ago and it contained the chords of Keepsake, the first song on the album Lamprey by Bettie Serveert. As this album is, according to Joop Schmit and me too, fucking brilliant I decided to find out the lyrics and put these two things together. It is very hard though to find out lyrics to Bettie Serveert songs, but I think I fairly succeeded. A few things are missing, but hey: nobody's perfect. I hope I got everything right. Many thanks tot Joop Schmit and of course Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert. I wish everybody lots of fun playing it.
Keepsake by Bettie Serveert
Am Wrapped up in blue F Painted by me and you Am Some thought it's changed by the truth GF We somehow keep smiling through C It's all we got instead GAm It sometimes feels so near DF And then I reach out and it just disappears

AmGF Was it something that I said FAm I feel so many moods AmGF Written all across your head C They lie there two and two GAm It sometimes feels so near DF then I reach out and it just disappears
Intro
AmGF I could smell the fallen rain Am I know that's in the park AmGF The kind of things you can't explain C I feel them in your heart GAm It sometimes seems so near DF and then I reach out and it just disappears
Chorus: AmC Paint this day FC Let's keep this one forever AmGF Wrap it up inside your heart
AmC Paint this day FC For worse if not for better AmGF Save it up 'till............ (?)
