Rotterdam    (video)    (midi)

 

    C - F - C - F (4x)

 

                    C                        F

1. And the women tug their hair

                         C                        F            C    - F - C - F

    like they’re trying to prove it won’t fall out,

            C                        F                         C         F         C   - F - C - F

    and all the men are gargoyles, dipped long in Irish stout.

                G                                                                         Am  

    The whole place is pickled, the people are pickless for sure,

            G

    and no one  knows if they’ve done more here

                     C                           E - E7

    than they ever would do in a ja……r.

 

                        Am                 C              Am                C

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome,

              Am               C               D7             G7                       C

‘cause Rotterdam is anywhere, anywhere alone, anywhere alone.

 

+  C - F - C - F (2x)

 

             C                   F             C                   F     C     - F - C - F

2. And everyone is blond, and everyone is beautiful,

                       C                                    F

    and when blond and beautiful are multiple,

                 C                           F   C    - F - C - F

    they become so dull and dutiful.

                      G                                                                          Am

    And when faced with dull and dutiful, they fire red warning flares,

                  G                              C               E - E7

    battle-khaki personality with red underw…….ear.
