Verse 1: 
C#5                    F#5 
You and me got the whole day off
C#5          B5
Take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh
C#5                F#5           A5  - Ab5
But the line went halfway round the park
C#5                         F#5
And we're looking for a place to rest
C#5                   B5
Every seat in every bar was set
C#5         F#5           A5
So we turned back to The Grand Hotel
Bridge 1:
E5            B5
 And the rain came hard
G5                           F#5
A million people on a protest march
E5             B5           B5
Every choice, every path was mistaken
Verse 2:
C5 #m/B5                    F#5
You and me got the whole thing sussed
C#5        B5
Gray man is shadowing us
C#5     F#5          A5  - Ab5
Wild conspiracies turn to dust
C#5                    F#5
 Hear the sound of cathedral bells
C#5                   B5
Cash ringing at the gates of Hell
C#5        F#5                   A5  
And fairground hooligans push and swell

Chorus:
                   E5           B5
They're the darkest days of a free men
      D5                   A5
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam 
            D5             A5
Nearly fell underneath the tram.
                 E5
But I picked myself up 
E5                   B5
Every temptation and device
     D5                   A5
All the diamonds and the Spice
D5                         B5
I would give anything for the sight
      E5
Of an honest man (Hey)

Verse 3:
 C#5        F#5
Eyes swim in emptiness
C#5                   B5
I was looking at a hotel guest
C#5        F#5          A5  - Ab5
He blew me a big sarcastic kiss
Bridge 2
E5              B5
And the Lord walked in
G5                      F#5
With a monocle and lips so thin
E5         B5                   B5
Saw the barman wink as he poured his brandy

Chorus:
              E5           B5
They're the darkest days of a free men
     D5          A5
 Lying in the streets of Amsterdam 
      D5             A5
Nearly fell underneath the tram
       E5
But I picked myself up
   E5               B5
Every temptation and device
   D5                     A5
All the diamonds and the Spice
D5                         B5
I would give anything for the sight
      E5
Of an honest man
