Ode to Ochrasy
Amsterdam
standard tuninge, no capo
Intro:
Verse:
I was down in Amsterdam
Almost hurt myself to death
I pushed myself so hard
Just like the redlight girls
Well I cried and stopped to smile
I thought that my career was over
And the dealer boys they had to bring me water
I stumbled over mountains
And the shadows of the street
I fell into the river
I cried and and begged for mercy
And i talked to god on the telephone
Chorus
But I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
Verse:
When I came to in Amsterdam
The hotel showed a movie
With Marlon Brando and his friend Pacino
Well I thought that this is nice
And I'm sure I can relax now
But suddenly the room was full of demons
I escaped through the window
Almost ran a mile away
I had nowhere to go
So I cried and and begged for mercy
And I talked to god on the telephone
Chorus
But I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
Solo:
change between Dm and F, start on Dm, and as the solo ends, the last Dm changes to D7
Bridge
But nothing seems to matter
In this lonesome dirty town
But for a short brief moment
I thought she was the one
And she and I were fighting
About sex, love and TV
That's why I had to get down and talk
To god on the telephone
Chorus
But I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
No I really can't tell you what he told me
But it was a lie
take it easy
