  Subject: CRD: BETTIE SERVEER - Keepsake

  

  About a year ago I went to a Bettie Serveert concert in Amsterdam, Holland.

  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

  I found a message of Joop schmit (schmit@bart.nl) 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
