D-DU-UDU
 They're the darkest  days  of a free men
 Lying in  the streets of Amsterdam
 Nearly fell underneath  the tram.
 But I picked myself  up
Every  temptation and device
 All the  diamonds and the Spice
I  would give anything for the  sight
 Of an honest  man (Hey)
 Capo2:  / /
 Eyes swim  in emptiness
I  was  looking at a hotel guest
He  blew  me a big sarcastic  kiss
And  the Lord walked  in
With  a monocle and lips so  thin
Saw  the barman  wink  as he poured his brandy
 They're the darkest  days of a free  men
  Lying  in the streets  of Amsterdam
 Nearly  fell underneath  the tram
 But I picked  myself up
 Every  temptation and device
 All  the diamonds and the Spice
I  would give anything for the  sight
 Of an honest  man
Amsterdam
Cold,  cold  x2
 You belong
