[Verse]
Am C
Worn down brick and cobblestone
G
Laid out in herringbone in the square
Am
Old man sitting on a milk crate
C G
Playing a squeezebox for spare change
D
People pass by like he’s not there
[Chorus]
C D G
Oh, but all his Old World waltzes seem to be
Em
In a minor key
C Cm
To a haunted man
G C Cm G
Lost in the Netherlands
[Verse]
Am C
Sidewalk bar on a Sunday night
G
Watching girls in skirts on bikes come and go
Am
Here’s around for the one with the jonquil hair
C G
And another for the things I might have dared when I was younger
D
If I’d only known
[Chorus]
C D G
Oh, tonight it seems like every memory
Em
Is in a minor key
C Cm
To a haunted man
G C Cm G
Lost in the Netherlands
[Verse]
Am C
From a stained glass window pane
G
Of an old church black with acid rain comes a light
Am
Candles flicker at the Virgin’s feet
C G
And I want so badly to believe that someone
D
Has got my back tonight
[Chorus]
C D G
Oh, but all my prayers they fall so hollowly
Em
No one answers me
C Cm
And I’m gone again
G C Cm G
Lost in the Netherlands
