[Verse]
A                                                            Bm
Drinking black market vodka in the back of the Scottsman's saloon
          E                                               A
Then it's red meat and whiskey like a coyote drunk on the moon
                                              D    D/C  Bm
Outside in Oslo the buskers all sing the same tune
         E                                                      A
And it's Waltzin' Matilda while the bagpipes play old Claire de Lune


[Verse]
A                                             Bm
She was a lady, she came down from Bergen she said
    E                                                      A
She spoke little English, they laughed and drank whiskey instead
                                                      D     D/C  Bm
In the mornin' he found it, a rose with a note on his plate
          E                                               A
It said, "Meet me at midnight on the corner of St. Olav's Gate"


[Chorus]
A                                            Bm
Here's to the ladies you love and don't see again
    E                                                 A
The night is warm whiskey, the mornin's a cold bitter wind
                                                             D     D/C  Bm
Yeah the blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits
E                                           A
Standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's Gate


[Instrumental]
A  Bm  E  A  D  D/C  Bm  E  A


[Chorus]
A                                            Bm
Here's to the ladies you love and don't see again
    E                                                 A
The night is warm whiskey, the mornin's a cold bitter wind
                                                           D     D/C  Bm
Yeah the blue eyed madonna left town while the drunken man waits
E                                           A
Standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's Gate


[Outro]
E                                           A
Standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's Gate
