[Am] In the port of Amsterdam
[Em] there's a sailor who sings
[F] Of the dreams that he brings [E] from the wide open sea
[Am] In the port of Amsterdam [Em] there's a sailor who sleeps
[Am] While [Dm] the [E] riverbank weeps [Am] to the old willow tree
[C] In the port of Amsterdam [G] there's a sailor [Ab] who dies
[Am] Full of fear, full of [Em] cries, the drunken [E] town fight
[F] In the port of Amsterdam [Em]
there's a sailor who's born
[D] On a hot [E]
murky moon [Am] by the dawn's early light
In the port of Amsterdam [Em] where the sailors all meet
[F] There's a sailor who eats [E] only fish heads and tails
[Am] And he'll show you his teeth [Em] that have rotted too soon
[A] That can haul up [E] the sails, [Am] that can swallow the moon
[C] And he yells to the cook [G] with his arms [Ab] open wide
[Am] Hey, bring me more fish, [Em] throw it down by [E] my side
[F] And he wants all the fish, [Em] but he's too full to try
[Dm] So he stands [E] up and laughs [Am] and he sets up his fly
In the port of Amsterdam [Em] you can see the sailors dance
[F] While dispersing their pants, [E] grinding women to parch
[Am] They've forgotten the tune [Em] that their whisky voice broke
[F] Splitting [E] the night [Am] with the roar of their jokes
[C] And they turn and they dance [G] and they laugh and they lust
[Am] Till the rancid sound of [Em] the [E] accordion bursts
[F] And then out of the night [Em] with their pride and their pants
[Dm] And the sloth that [E] they kill [Am] underneath the street lamps
In the port of Amsterdam [Em] there's a sailor who drinks
[F] And he drinks and he drinks [Em] and he drinks [E] once again
[Am] He'll drink to the health [Em] of the hearts of Amsterdam
[D] Who've given [E] their bodies [Am] to a thousand other men
[C] Yeah, they've forgotten their virtue, [G] their goodness [Ab] all gone
[Am] For a few dirty coins [Em] when they [E] just can't go on
[F] Roaches nose through the [Em] sky, feet up above
[Dm] And he kisses [E] like I cry [Am] on the unfaithful love
In the port of Amsterdam, [Em] in the port of Amsterdam
[Em] there's a sailor who sings
[F] Of the dreams that he brings [E] from the wide open sea
[Am] In the port of Amsterdam [Em] there's a sailor who sleeps
[Am] While [Dm] the [E] riverbank weeps [Am] to the old willow tree
[C] In the port of Amsterdam [G] there's a sailor [Ab] who dies
[Am] Full of fear, full of [Em] cries, the drunken [E] town fight
