Adrian Belew - Postacard from Holland
From the amazing album "Here", the real masterpiece of Ade, IMHO.
Symphonic intro (play first arpeggio)
In Holland there is a table, in front of me.
[Bb]
With Cafe au lait..... cookies.
[A-]
Ouside.... There's a wide and gentle canal
[Bb] [C] [F] [C] [D-]
Two swans swim in it in their mirror images They must be in love
[Bb] [C] [Bb][C][G-][C]
The handsome holland people... ...bikes.
[Bb]
Or sometimes their dogs..... hikes.
[A-]
I stool by the tall ships... and stepped in some old Dutch dog shit...
[Bb] [C] [F] [C] [D-]
It began to rain.... a strange enchanted mist
[Bb] [C] [Bb] [C]
And I love the cookies here I could live forever here with you

Lyrics
In Holland there is a table
in front of me
with cafe' au lait
and some kind of cookie
outside the window
there's a wide and gentle canal
two swans swim in it,
in their mirror images
they must be in love.
The handsome Holland people
ride ecological bikes
or sometimes their dogs
might take them along for a hike,
I stood by the tall ships
and stepped in some old Dutch dog shit,
it began to rain
a strange enchanted mist
and I love the cookies here
I could live forever here
with you.
Like always, fell free to make this tab better.
I love this song, I love Holland and I love Ade.
A real masterpiece from a real virtuoso.
Thank you Ade.
