[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. {blue}(Pause){/blue}
 
|[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,  {blue}(Pause){/blue}
|            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.  {blue}(Pause){/blue}
 
|[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,  {blue}(Pause){/blue}
|            C     
|Anywhere al-one.. [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [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.  {blue}(Pause){/blue}
 
|[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,  {blue}(Pause){/blue}
|            C     
|Anywhere al-one.. [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
