[Am] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sings
[F] [E]
of the dreams that he brings from the wide open seas.
[Am] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sleeps
[F] [E] [Am]
while the riverbank weeps through the old willow trees.
[C] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who dies
[Am] [E]
full of beer, full of cries in a drunken down fight.
[F] [Em]
In the port of Amsterdam, there a sailor who's born
[F] [E] [Am]
on a muggy hot morn, by the dawn's early light.
[Am] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet,
[F] [E]
there's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails.
[Am] [G]
He will show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
[F] [E] [Am]
that can swallow the moon, that can haul up the sail.
[C] [G]
And he yells to the cook with his arms open wide,
[Am] [E]
bring me more fish, put it down by my side.
[F] [Em]
And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try
[F] [E] [Am]
so he gets up and he laughs, and he zips up his fly.
[Am] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, you can see sailors dance,
[F] [E]
haunches bursting their pants, grinding women to paunch.
[Am] [G]
They've forgotten the tune that their whisky voice croaked,
[F] [E] [Am]
and they're spitting the night with the roar of their jokes.
[C] [G]
And they turn and they dance, and they laugh and they lust
[Am] [E]
to the rancid sound of the accordion's burst.
[F] [Em]
then it's out into the night with their pride in their pants
[F] [E] [Am]
and a slut that they tow underneath the street lamps.
[Am] [G]
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who drinks.
[F] [E]
and he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again.
[Am] [G]
He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam
[F] [E] [Am]
who have promised their love to a thousand other men.
[C] [G]
And they bargain their bodies and their virtue, long gone,
[Am] [E]
for a few dirty coins, and when he can't go on,
[F] [Em]
he plants his nose in the sky and we wipes it up above
[F] [E] [Am]
then he splits like I cry for an unfaithful love,
[Em] [Am] [Em]
in the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam.
