Verse 1
A 
D 
 (A major)  (D major) Oh, I just came back from Harlem
On the very last day of autumn
I made it through the customs
A 
And took the bus into town  (A major) 
Em 
The  (E minor) flat looked cold and empty
C 
The  (C major) chair's unused and dusty
A 
Just a  (A major) few old letters and
D 
papers lying around  (D major) 
Well, the Dutch people, they were friendly
You know, they put me up and they fed me
G 
All along, it was a tour of one night stands  (G major) 
Gm 
And  (G minor) all my days and all my ways
F#m 
are so  (F sharp minor) confused
Bm 
Em 
I'll  (B minor) tell you right now,  (E minor) 
A 
I'm gonna  (A major) make it back to

Amsterdam  (D major) 
Bm 
And you can feel  (B minor) fine

anytime  (E major) you choose to lose  (A major) 
yourself for a while

G 
A 
 (D major) A bottle of wine,  (G major) mmm,  (A major) 
Bm 
in some backstreet  (B minor) cafe
A

 (A major) Or out on the  (B minor) street,
E 
there's a chance  (E major) for you to meet
A 
 (A major) Anybody you please,
D 
G 
Em 
 (D major) taking the time  (G major) to ease  (E minor) your
G 
Bm 
blues away  (G major)  (B minor) 
D 
Fred  (D major) was a crazy driver,
he took us at a hundred miles an hour
G 
Down a side street and out of a traffic jam  (G major)

And  (G minor) all my days and all my ways

are so  (F sharp minor) bemused

Oh, I just came back from Harlem
And the very thing I was wanting
Was to find some way
A 
to let you know how I  (A major) felt
Em 
Though you  (E minor) can't say much in an evening
C 
If you  (C major) know you'll soon be leaving
A 
There's  (A major) not much time to talk
D 
and it's just as well  (D major) 
But I wanted to give you something,
because you know that you really help me
So I've written you a song
G 
with a small West Indian band  (G major) 
Gm 
And  (G minor) though it seems some days
F#m 
that all my ways  (F sharp minor) are   bound to lose
Bm 
Em 
 (B minor) I'll tell you right  (E minor) now,
A 
I'm gonna  (A major) make it back to Amsterdam
