On our forth stop in this continent-spanning trip, we go to Holland, where Chris Clavin and Hannah Jones took a trip to without thinking that they might want to bring along some money for weed. Spoiler: Things turned out alright in the end. The second-to-last verse is sung without playing the accompanied chords, and has been left without them. CHORDS USED: G D A E Bm GHOST MICE: EUROPE "Holland" G - G - G - G - A - A - A
We were the cDliché American Ebackpackers GStanding on the side of the road in the rDain With our Ecardboard sign Gwritten in black sharpie That read DAm-Aster-dGam We were going to DAm-Aster-Gdam
So we Dweren't surprised by the lEooks in the eyes Of the Gpeople in their cars when they passed us by And they Dgave us the middle Efinger Or the Gthumbs up or thumbs down
But Dwe stayed tough, we Estood our ground g And by the end of the afternoon We got Ddropped off in the Emiddle of this Gtown
Now Aeveryone will tell you 'bout the Gcoffee shops And Aeveryone will tell you 'bout the Gred-light district But someAhow up to now it seems they Gall forgot to mention The Dmillions of bikes locked to the Amillions of bridges That Garch up like rainbows to cross the city's millions of Dcanals That run down every Astreet with the houseboats nice and Gneat And the Gbuildings lean so much you think that they might fall Ddown Like the rainA that day that drove us to a stoop
Ya Ggotta feel sorry for all the hippies That came here in the 'D60s Now they don't know who they Aare We watched one of them playin' Gflute
He was tryin' to earn some change
We had spent all of our Bmmoney for that Gday We grew Bmhungry and the rain just Gcame and came
And Bmoh how I wished I had Gsome of those fries That the Bmpeople were eating when they Gpassed us by And I Aclosed my eyes for a Gminute or two I Aopened them up when I Ggot a nudge from you AThere was the hippie, the Gone with the flute, AAnd holding in his hands was my Gwish come true And he Dhanded me the whole Gthing And this Awhole interaction felt was more like a Gdream He was Dreadin' my mind it Gseemed Like a Agenie granting wishes for people on the Gstreet And we Dnever could have thanked him Genough I Adon't know if he knew how much it Gmeant to us
And Dthat night in a tent we Acounted all our money And we Gfigured out how long we could Dstay The Dway it looked to me we could Alive here forever GSleep in the campground, eat falDafel every day But that's Bmnot what we came here to Ado We had Dso much more left to Gsee And Dthough this place felt so Anice We Gmade our plans to Dleave
And we went to this park where they had free bikes at the gate Spent the day riding through the trees and it felt great We were offered a place to stay on the floor of someone's office But we chose to sleep beside the interstate
And the Dsounds of the cars passing Gby DPut us right to Gsleep DNothin' beats layin' right under the Gstars And I Dalways feel safe when you're Asleepin' beside Dme
