			 AMSTERDAM STRANDED - Midnight Choir
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:
                                                             
Down the muddy harbour for many a restless night have I been walking
                                                                     
Down the muddy harbour for many a restless night have I found myself talking
                                                                 
And much to my surprise I found that I've been wrong for so long now
                                                                    
I found that I've been wrong. I found that I have been wrong for so long now 
                          
When it comes down to this

Verse 2:
                                                            
I've been to NY city, I've seen the world at large and its hurting
                                                       
It took a lot of pain to get me where I am, that's for certain
                                                            
I felt the arms of God, I felt the devil's kisses in the nighttime
                                                          
I thought I've seen it all, just to watch it fall like curtains
                                
Just to watch it come down to this

Verse 3:
                                                                  
Well, I'm Amsterdam stranded, and it's taken for granted that I'm singing
                                 
But one of these days I will be leaving
                                                                     
I got leaving on my mind, I'm gonna leave it all behind that's for certain
                                                           
I'm tired of wasting time, chasing this high. Oh, sweet burden
                     
How did we end up like this
