  • Verse 1
    The 

    Dutchman 

    is 
    not 
    the kind 
    of man 

    Who keeps 
    his thumb 
    jammed 

    in the 
    dam 

    That holds 
    his dreams 
    in 

    That's 
    a secret 
    that 
    only 
    Mar

    garet 
    knows 

    Verse 2
    When 
    Amsterdam 
    is golden 

    in 
    the summer 

    Margaret 
    brings 
    him 
    breakfast, 

    she 
    believes 
    him 

    He 
    thinks 
    the tulips 
    bloom 

    beneath 
    the 
    snow 

    He's 
    mad 
    as 
    he 
    can be, 

    Margaret 
    only 
    sees 
    that 
    sometimes 

    Sometimes 
    she sees 

    her unborn 
    children 
    in his 
    eyes 

    Verse 3
    Let 
    us 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    ocean 

    Where 
    the walls 
    rise 
    above 

    the Zuider 
    Zee 

    Long 
    ago, 
    used 
    to be 
    a young 
    man 

    Dear 
    Margaret 
    remem
    bers 

    that 
    for me 


    Verse 4
    The Dutchman 
    still 
    wears 
    wooden 
    shoes 

    And 
    his cap 
    and 
    coat 
    are patched 

    with the 
    love 

    Margaret 
    sewed 
    there 

    Sometimes 
    he thinks 
    he's still 

    in 
    Rotterdam 

    Verse 5
    He 
    watches 
    the tug-boats 

    down 
    down 
    canals 

    An' 
    calls 
    out 
    to them 
    when 
    he 
    thinks 

    he knows 
    the 
    Captain 

    Margaret 
    comes 
    to 
    take 

    him 
    home 
    again 

    Through 
    unforgiv
    ing 
    streets 
    that trip 
    him, 

    though 
    she 
    holds 
    his 
    arm 

    Some
    times 
    he 
    thinks 
    he's 

    alone 
    and 
    he calls 
    her 
    name 

    Verse 6
    Let 
    us 
    go 
    to 
    the banks 
    of 
    the 
    ocean 

    Where 
    the walls 
    rise 
    above 

    the Zuider 
    Zee 

    Long 
    ago, 
    used 
    to be 
    young 
    man 

    And 
    dear 
    Margaret

    bers 
    that 

    Interlude 1
    for me 



    Verse 7
    The 
    winters 
    whirl 
    the windmills 
    'round 

    She 
    winds 
    his muffler 
    tighter, 

    they 
    sit in 
    the kitchen 

    Some tea 
    with whiskey 

    keeps 
    away 
    the dew 

    He 
    sees 
    her 
    for 
    a moment, 

    he 
    calls 
    her name 

    She makes 
    the bed 
    up 
    singing 

    some 
    old 
    love 
    song 

    Verse 8
    She 
    learned 
    it when 
    the 

    song was 
    very 
    new 

    He 
    hums 
    line 
    or two, 

    they 
    hum 
    to
    gether 
    in 
    the dark 

    The Dutchman 
    falls 
    asleep, 

    Mar
    garet 
    blows 
    the 
    candles 
    out 

    Verse 9
    Let 
    us 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    ocean 

    Where 
    the 
    walls 
    rise 
    above 

    the Zuider 
    Zee 

    Long ago, I used 
    to be a young man 


    And dear Margaret 
    remembers 
    that for me 

    Verse 10
    Let 
    us go to the 
    banks of 

    the ocean 

    Where the walls 
    rise above the 

    Zuider Zee 

    Long ago, I 
    used 
    to be 
    young 
    man 

    And 
    dear 
    Margaret 
    remem

    bers

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
