[Eb] Oh, I just came back from Holland on the very last day of autumn
Made it through the customs, took the bus [Bb] into town
[Fm] The flat looked cold and empty, [Db] the chairs unused and dusty
[Bb] Just a few old letters and papers lying [Eb] around
The Dutch people were friendly, you know, they put me up and they fed me
All along the tour of one [Ab] night stands
[Abm] All my days and all my [Eb] ways are so confused
I tell you [Bb] right now, I'm gonna make it back [Eb] to Amsterdam
And you can [C] feel [Gb] fine any [F] time you choose [Bb] to lose yourself [Eb] for a while
Bottle [Ab] of wine, [Bb] some backstreet [C] cafe
[Bb]
Or out [Cm] on the streets [F] as a chance for you [Bb] to meet anybody [Eb] you please
Taking [Ab] the time [F] to ease your [Ab] blues away
[Bb]
[Eb] Fred was a crazy driver, he took us at a hundred miles an hour
Down a side street out of a traffic [Ab] jam
All [Abm] my days and all my [Eb] ways are so confused
I tell [Bb] you right now, I'm gonna make it back to [Eb] Amsterdam
[Cm] [F] [Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Bb] Oh, [C] [Bb]

[Eb] I just came back from Holland on the very thing I was wanting
Just to find some way to let you know [Bb] how I feel
You [Fm] can't say much in an evening [Db] if you know you're soon leaving
[Bb] There's not much time to talk and it may [Eb] be as well
But I wanted to give you something because you know you really help me
So I've written a song with a small West [Ab] Indian band
And [Abm] though it seems some days that all my ways [Eb] are bound to lose
I tell you [Bb] right now, I'm gonna make it back [Eb] to Amsterdam
[Cm] Amsterdam, [F] Amsterdam, [Ab] Amsterdam Amsterdam
