Eric Andersen Belgian Bar by Eric Andersen

Am Em G
We were living in a nice hotel on the avenue Louise
Am C G Am
Workin on a project there it was just my man and me
Am Em G
I was unattached back then like a puppet off his feet
G Am C G Am
A crazy pile of broken strings only one I had to keep
G F Am G
We walked around the corner saw the lights of a little bar
G Am G
The mood there made me curious a chance to forget awhile
Am Em G
Inside a couple of tables a couple rock 'n roll cassettes
G Am C G Am
I was drinkin rum that night with the barmaid speakin French
G Am
I wonder just how things have changed
G Am
I wonder where you are
C G
And I wonder if a young French girl
F Am
Still works in a Belgian bar
Am Em G
Brussels in October the yellow gray's all I recall
Am C G Am
The rain ran on forever like the wires on a trolley car
Am Em G
Walkin down the new wet streets ancient wind blowin through my heart
G Am C G Am
The only face I couldn't see was the face of my true love
G F Am G
I dreamed about the lights of Nice the rust rocks of the coast
G Am G
I dreamed about a frozen path to the one I missed the most
Am Em G
Then I guess it wasn't long before I was on my feet again
Am C G Am
It must have happened someplace quiet cause I don't remember when
G Am
I wonder just how things have changed
G Am
I wonder where you are
C G
And I wonder if a young French girl
F Am
Still works in a Belgian bar
Am Em G
When I look over my shoulder from the window of my train
G Am C G Am
I think about my man again who I heard has moved to Spain
Am Em G
We worked hard and we traveled some through France and Italy
G Am C G Am
When it rained down hard in Brussels it poured on you and me
G F Am G
And when my eyes got tangled in the honey colored hair
G Am G
Of the girl that poured the drinks that night when we were talkin
there
Am Em G
She had eyes that seemed to drink us up and a crooked little smile
Am
When we sailed off for the starry night
C G Am
And forever took a little while
G Am
I wonder just how things have changed
G Am
I wonder where you are
C G
And I wonder if a young French girl
F Am
Still works in a Belgian bar
