Rotterdam (Or Anywhere) - The Beautiful South
[Intro]
C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
[Verse 1]
C Csus4
And the women tug their hair
C Csus4
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out. [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
C Csus4
And all the men are gargoyles
C Csus4 C
Dipped long in Irish stout. [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
[Pre-Chorus]
G
The whole place is pickled
Am
The people are pickles for sure
G
And no-one knows if they've done more here
C E7 E7
Than they ever would do in a jar. (Pause)
|[Chorus]
| Am C
|This could be Rotterdam or anywhere,
|Am C
| Liverpool or Rome,
| Am C
|'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere,
|D G7 G7
| anywhere alone, (Pause)
| C
|Anywhere al-one.. [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
[Verse 2]
C Csus4
And everyone is blond
C Csus4
And everyone is beautiful. [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
C Csus4
And when blond and beautiful are multiple
C Csus4
They become so dull and dutiful [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
[Pre-Chorus]
G
And when faced with dull and dutiful
Am
They fire red warning flares
G
Battle-khaki personality
C E7 E7
With red underwear. (Pause)
|[Chorus]
| Am C
|This could be Rotterdam or anywhere,
|Am C
| Liverpool or Rome,
| Am C
|'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere,
|D G7 G7
| anywhere alone, (Pause)
| C
|Anywhere al-one.. [Csus4]
