E        Eadd2/B  E       G#5   E 
Hand me down my walking shoes   
E     Eadd9 E Esus4 E 
And Mr. Murdoch's news  
 E     Eadd9  E           E6 E Esus4 E   B 
I'm going thunder rain or shine  
E 
Got a papoose on my back 
We're on the right track, Jack 
                               B 
To leave the beatnik blues behind 
G                                     E 
Amsterdam, where good things come in threes 
G                                     B 
Ease your troubled mind and shoot the breeze 
E     Eadd9  E           Esus4 E 
Take the path down to the mill 
E     Eadd9 E Esus4 E 
I'm going to get my fill 
E     Eadd9  E           E6 E Esus4 E   B 
I'm going to eat till the pot runs dry 
E     Eadd9      E                 Esus4  E 
Anne Frank's house and Rembrandt's tomb 
E     Eadd9 E Esus4 E 
I'd better make some room 
E     Eadd9  E      E6 E Esus4 E   B 
‘Cause Brother Vincent's on my mind 
G                                  E 
Life goes on behind the tiles and chintzes 
G                               B 
Dirty water fit for kings and princes 
E     Eadd9  E           Esus4 E 
Dutch is not a loving tongue 
E     Eadd9  E   Esus4 E 
You say your piece and run 
E     Eadd9  E      E6 E Esus4 E   B 
You show you care in other ways 
E     Eadd9  E           Esus4 E 
Sailors in their Sunday best 
E     Eadd9  E           Esus4 E 
I'm feeling overdressed 
E     Eadd9  E      E6 E   Esus4   E   B 
I've got to lose these blacks and greys 
G                                      E 
Amsterdam, where good things come in threes 
G                                        B 
Soothe your troubled mind and shoot the breeze 
E 
Hand me down my walking shoes 
A 
Hand me down my walking shoes 
D                                 E 
Got to leave these beatnik blues behind 
D                                   E 
Got to leave these beatnik blues behind
