When the concert was over, I found this paper on stage. It said 'Paint this day' and it had some chords on it. Bettie Serveert just released their new album, 'Lamprey', and it's fucking brilliant. But there's no song called Paint this day on it. After listening the album a few times, I found out the song on the paper I foudn was Keepsake, the first song on the album. Since the paper originally belonged to Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert, I think my source is quite accurate. Here's what the paper sais: Intro: Am G F C G Am D F Am G F - C G Am D F Chorus: Am C F C Am G F - Paint this day Intro: Am G F C G Am D F Chorus: Am C F C Am G F G F C G F C D F (2x) End From: Jaco de Kruijf I found a message of Joop schmit ([email protected]) here a week ago and it contained the chords of Keepsake, the first song on the album Lamprey by Bettie Serveert. As this album is, according to Joop Schmit and me too, fucking brilliant I decided to find out the lyrics and put these two things together. It is very hard though to find out lyrics to Bettie Serveert songs, but I think I fairly succeeded. A few things are missing, but hey: nobody's perfect. I hope I got everything right. Many thanks tot Joop Schmit and of course Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert. I wish everybody lots of fun playing it. Keepsake by Bettie Serveert Am Wrapped up in blue F Painted by me and you Am Some thought it's changed by the truth G F We somehow keep smiling through C It's all we got instead G Am It sometimes feels so near D F And then I reach out and it just disappears Intro: Am G F (2x) Am G F Was it something that I said F Am I feel so many moods Am G F Written all across your head C They lie there two and two G Am It sometimes feels so near D F then I reach out and it just disappears Intro Am G F I could smell the fallen rain Am I know that's in the park Am G F The kind of things you can't explain C I feel them in your heart G Am It sometimes seems so near D F and then I reach out and it just disappears Chorus: Am C Paint this day F C Let's keep this one forever Am G F Wrap it up inside your heart Am C Paint this day F C For worse if not for better Am G F Save it up 'till............ (?) G F C 'cause that's why I sometimes stay awake G F C D Pondering endlessly in reach of understance F Just for keepsake Instr.: (?) Intro C G Am It sometimes seems so clear D F and then I reach out and it just disappears Chorus
