Amsterdam

Key: CEasy
She's back from Amsterdam
And I think the journey did her well
Her face has lost it's touch
The tell tale signs of loneliness inside
But I love her still
And need her company still more
Come down, come down once more
And I do believe, the journey, did her well
She says she fell in love
With men who knew the way to treat a lady
Her life has settled for the best of things
That I couldn't give her
And it's not her fault, she's not the one to blame
Come down, come down, come down once more
And I do believe the journey did her well
Yes I do believe the journey did her well

I hearGd there was a secretEm chord
Gthat David played and it Empleased the Lord,
But Cyou don't really cDare for music do Gyou. D
GIt goes like this the Cfourth theD fifth,
the Emminor fall and theC majorD lift
The bDaffled king cBmomposing halleEmlujah
HalleCluja, HallEmeluja, HalleCluja, HalGleDluGja
GYour faith was strong but you Emneeded proof
GYou saw her bathing Emon the roof
Her Cbeauty and the moonlight overGthrew YOU
GShe tied you to aC kitchenD chair
She Embroke your throne, and she Ccut your Dhair
And fDrom your lips she dBmrew the HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HalGleDluGjah
GYou say I took the Emname in vain
GI don't even Emknow the name
But Cif I did, well really, what's it Gto you?
GThere's a blaze of light Cin every Dword
It Emdoesn't matter Cwhich you Dheard
The hDoly or the Bmbroken HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HallGelDujGah
GBaby I've beeen heEmre before.
GI know this room I've Emwalked this floor.
I Cused to live alone before I Gknew you.
GI've seen your flag on the Cmarble Darch
but Emlove is not a Cvictory Dmarch
It's a cDold and it's a broBmken HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HalGleDluGjah
GThere was a time you Emlet me know
Gwhats really going Emon below
but Cnow you never show it to me Gdo you?
GI remember when I Cmoved in Dyou
and the Emholy dove was Cmoving Dtoo
and eDvery breath we dBmrew was HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HalGleDluGjah
GNow maybe there's a Emgod above
Gbut all I ever Emlearned from love
is Chow to shoot at someone who outGdrew you
GAnd it's no complaint you Chear toDnight
and it's Emnot some pilgrim who's Cseen the Dlight
it's a cDold and it's a lBmonely HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HalGleDluGjah
GI did my best it Emwasn't much.
GI couldn't feel so I Emlearned to touch.
I've Ctold the truth, I didn't come to Gfool you.
GAnd even though it Call went Dwrong,
I'll Emstand before the CLord of DSong
with Dnothing on my tBmongue but HalleEmlujah
HalleClujah, HalEmlelujah, HalleClujah, HalGleDluGjah
