Katzenjammer – A Bar In Amsterdam chords

(Capo 3)


EmNine hours passed and how long will it last
          G                      A                   (H)                         says the man with the plan and a gun in his hand.
     EmHe's scared but prepared it might be as he feared
           G                  A                       (H)                         are they still in control, and safe behind the wall.
       EmThis evening's too quiet, oh we need a real riot
    G                        A                    (H)                         to shake and to break and to bite like a snake.
       EmWe're stuck in this attic so bored and so static,
    G                                     A     H tomorrow they'll ask us to throw off our masks.
         Em                           (G)But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
         C           G            Dlike a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
      Em                          GThe storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
        C             G              D                 Emlike a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.



 EmMary's like me she's a loser to be,
       G                     A                             (H)                         got a lock on her door and a bed on the floor.
           EmThey will know they will win and then they'll come in.
          G                       A          (H)                           There's nothing you could say to lead them astray.
     EmWe still live in silence like sworn threats of violence.
    G                        A                                    (H)                         I long for an end and it's coming round the bend.
       EmIf we live through this night and we'd still be all right.
      G                A                                 HWe'd flee to Siam or a bar in Amsterdam.


          Em                            G But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
          C           G            D like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
       Em                          G The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight,
         C             G              D             Em like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
