[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
