Standard Tuning. No Capo.
This strumming pattern is metered throughout, with no real deviations.
Once the Chorus pattern has been played, it drops right back into the verse pattern again.
[Intro]
C Am G F/C
C Am G G
[Verse]
C Am G F/C
Cars by the water, water that makes this place stand still
C Am G G
Looks like they're thinking, thinking of jumping
C Am G F/C
I wake to the church bells playing those funky tunes, hey jude
C Am G G
Up in the tower, carillonneurs thumping
[Chorus]
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C G Am G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C G C
Amsterdam says goodnight
[Verse]
C Am G F/C
I'm dragging my suitcase through Chinatown and the Zeedijk
C Am G G
The racket it's making banging a tourist
C Am G F/C
Now this is my home, Though these roots will only ever be so long
C Am G G
It is what it is
[Chorus]
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C G Am G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C G C
Amsterdam says goodnight
[Outro]
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you but you treat me like a hotel
C G Am G
You're coming and going, but you never say where
C G Am F/C
I'm trying to love you, but I see your heart is elsewhere
C G Am G
Amsterdam says, with steel in her voice
C G Am F/C
"I may seem rude to you but I prefer to hear it straight
C G Am G
And not have to wade through the bullshit between the lines
C G Am F/C
I know I'm beautiful, and I shouldn't work, but I do
C G C
And I can do better than you."
