Verse 1
B
Here I am in Amsterdam
F#m
I like it here they speak my language
EmA
Even though it's not my own
B
It's got BBC for comfort zone
F#m Em A
And best of all, it's got Marks & Spencers
Em A B
Equality for the masses never felt better
Chorus
C#m F# Ebm G#
Some of my dreams, they may have come true
C#m F#Bm7
But so have my nightmares which I can't get through
Verse 2
B
And now I've lost the power to speak
F#m
And now I've lost the power to eat
Em A
Idle and out of touch in Europe
B
Nothing's gone and nothing's changed
F#m Em A
All that was before will still remain
Em A B
It's too late to learn a new currency
Chorus
C#m F# Ebm G#
Some of my dreams, they may have come true
C#m F#Bm7
But so have my nightmares which I can't get through
Great song, one of the Manics best. It's a shame it's not more well known. Please rate!
