Intro 1
(E minor) (A minor) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) The Dutchman's
not the kind of man
to keep his thumb jammed in the
dam that hold (A minor) s his dreams in
But (D major) that's a secret only
Mar (G major) garet knows
When Amsterdam is golden
in (C major) the morn (G major) ing
Margaret brings him breakfast,
(A minor) she believes him
(D major) He thinks the tulips bloom
beneath the (G major) snow
He's mad as he (C major) can be
But (D major) Margaret only sees (G major) that sometimes
(E minor) Sometimes she sees (A minor) her
unborn (D major) children in his (C major) eyes
(A minor) Let (G major) us go (A minor) to the
banks of the ocean
(B minor) Where the walls (C major) rise above (D major)
the Zaire -de -Zee (G major)
(E minor) Long ago (A minor) I (D major) used to be a young (B minor) man
An (E minor) d dear (A minor) Margaret
remember (D major) s that for me (G major)
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
his cap and coat are patched with love
that Margaret (A minor) sold him (D major)
Sometimes he thinks he's
still in Rotter (G major) dam
He watches tugboats down canals
and he calls out to them
when he thinks he knows (A minor) the captain. (D major)
Till Margaret comes to take him home again
(G major) through unforgiving (C major) streets that (D major) trip him
Even though she (G major) holds his arm,
(E minor) sometimes he (A minor) thinks that he's alone
(D major) and calls her name. (C major) (G major)
Let (A minor) us go to the banks
of the ocean (B minor) ,
where the (C major) walls rise above (D major) the Zyderzee.
(G major) (E minor) Long ago, (A minor) I (D major) used to be a (B minor) young man
An (E minor) d dear (A minor) Mar garet
remember (D major) s that for me (G major)
The windmills whirl the winter in
She winds his muffler tighter,
they sit (A minor) in the kitchen
(D major) Some tea with whiskey
keeps away (G major) the dew
He sees her for a moment, calls her name
She makes the bed up,
humming (A minor) some old love song
(D major) She learned it when the tune was very (G major) new
He hums a line or (C major) two
(D major) They hum together in (G major) the night
The (E minor) Dutchman (A minor) falls asleep
And (D major) Margaret blows the candle (C major) out
(G major) Let (A minor) us go to the banks of
the ocean (B minor)
Where the walls (C major) rise above (D major) the cider sea
(G major) Long (E minor) ago, (A minor) I (D major) used to be a young (B minor) man
An (E minor) d dear (A minor) Margaret
remem (D major) bers that for me (C major)
Let (G major) us go (A minor) to the banks of
the ocean (B minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) (B minor) (E minor)
I (A minor) used (D major) to be a young (B minor) man,
(E minor) and dear (A minor) Margaret remem (D major) bers that for me.
