Verse 1
To keep his thumb jammed in the dam
G
Em
That holds his dreams in
When Amsterdam is golden in the morning
She brings him breakfast
G
Em
as she believes him
A

But Margaret only sees that sometimes,
A

children in his eyes
G

Let us go to the banks of the ocean,
G

where no owls rise above beside her sea
G

D
Long ago I used to be a young man,
A
D
bers that for me
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
his cap and coat are patched with love
G
Em
that Margaret sewed him
He watches tugboats down canals
and calls out to them
G
Em
when he thinks he knows the captain
A
D
and calls her name
G
A
D
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
G
A
D
Where the walls rise above the cider sea
G
A

Long ago I used to be a young man

And dear Margaret remembers that for me

The windmills swirl the winter in
He sees her for a moment, calls her name
She makes his bed up
G
Em
humming some old love song
A
D
She learned it when the tune was very new
A
D
they hum together in the night
A
D
and Margaret blows the candle out
G

Let us go to the banks of the ocean
