Verse 1
(D major) The Dutchman's not the kind of man
Who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That (E minor) holds his dreams in
But (A major) that's a secret only
Margaret (D major) knows
When Amsterdam is golden,
in the summer
Margaret brings him break (E minor) fast,
she believes him.
(A major) He thinks the tulips bloom
be (D major) neath the snow,
he's mad (G major) as he can be,
but (A major) Margaret only sees
(D major) That sometimes,
(B minor) sometimes she sees (G major) her unborn chil (A major) dren in his (D major) eyes
Let us (G major) go to the banks of the (F sharp minor) ocean
Where the walls (G major) rise above (A major) the Cider Sea (D major)
Long ago, (G major) I (A major) used to be a (D major) young man
(B minor) An (D major) d dear (G major) Margaret remem
(A major) bers that for (D major) me
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched
with the love that (E minor) Margaret
sold there
(A major) Sometimes he thinks he's
still in Rotterdam (D major)
And he watches tugboats on canals
And calls to them when he thinks
that he (E minor) knows the captain
Till (A major) Margaret comes to take
him (D major) home again
Through unforgiv (G major) ing
streets that trip (A major) him
Though (D major) she holds his arm, (B minor)
sometimes he think (G major) s
That he's alone (A major) and he calls her name (D major)
Let us (G major) go to the banks of the (F sharp minor) ocean
Where the walls (G major) rise above (A major) the (D major) cider sea
Long ago (G major) I (A major) used to be a (D major) young man
(B minor) And dear (G major) Margaret remem
(A major) bers that for me (D major)
The winters whirl, the windmills round
She winds his muffler tight,
and they sit in (E minor) the kitchen
Some (A major) tea with whiskey
keeps away (D major) the dew
And he sees her for a moment,
calls her name
She makes the bed of singing
(E minor) some old love song
(A major) A song she learned when it was (D major) fairly new
He hums a line (G major) or two
(A major) They sing togeth (D major) er in the dark
(B minor) The Dutchman (G major) falls asleep
And (A major) Margaret blows the candle (D major) out
Let us (G major) go to the banks of the (F sharp minor) ocean
Where the walls (G major) rise above (A major) the Cider Sea (D major)
Long ago, (G major) I (A major) used to be a (D major) young man
And (B minor) dear (G major) Margaret remem
(A major) bers that for me (D major)
Let us (G major) go to the banks of the (F sharp minor) ocean
Where the (G major) walls rise above (A major) the (D major) Cider Sea
Long ago, (G major) I (A major) used to be a (D major) young man
(B minor) And dear (G major) Margaret remem (A major) bers that for me (D major) you
