E MajorE    Eadd2/B E MajorE    G#5G#5  E MajorE
Hand me down my walking shoes
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
And Mr. Murdoch's news
 E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      E6E6 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE  BB
I'm going thunder rain or shine
E MajorE
Got a papoose on my back
We're on the right track, Jack
                BB
To leave the beatnik blues behind
G+G                   E MajorE
Amsterdam, where good things come in threes
G+G                   BB
Ease your troubled mind and shoot the breeze
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Take the path down to the mill
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
I'm going to get my fill
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      E6E6 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE  BB
I'm going to eat till the pot runs dry
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9   E MajorE         Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Anne Frank's house and Rembrandt's tomb
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
I'd better make some room
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE   E6E6 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE  BB
?Cause Brother Vincent's on my mind
G+G                 E MajorE
Life goes on behind the tiles and chintzes
G+G                BB
Dirty water fit for kings and princes
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Dutch is not a loving tongue
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE  Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
You say your piece and run
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE   E6E6 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE  BB
You show you care in other ways
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Sailors in their Sunday best
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE      Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
I'm feeling overdressed
E MajorE   Eadd9Eadd9 E MajorE   E6E6 E MajorE  Esus4Esus4  E MajorE  BB
I've got to lose these blacks and greys
G+G                   E MajorE
Amsterdam, where good things come in threes
G+G                    BB
Soothe your troubled mind and shoot the breeze
E MajorE
Hand me down my walking shoes
A augmentedA
Hand me down my walking shoes
D MajorD                 E MajorE
Got to leave these beatnik blues behind
D MajorD                  E MajorE
