_ Long ago.
I used to be a young man
[Eb] And dear Margaret remembers that for me is one of my favorite songs at the [A] moment _
[Dm] _ _ _ It's kind of a day in the life of story of an old couple _ [Abm] living somewhere in the [G] cold miserable flat in Amsterdam
_ _ _ _ The old man is shell-shocked he's kind of [Gb] lost in his [G] youth
_ _ _ _ [B] but
_ _ [F] Old [Eb] Margaret still loves him still [A] takes care of [Dm] him.
_ He's called the Dutchman
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Or the Dutchman [Db] is not the kind of man to keep his thumb _ jammed in the dam [F] that holds his dreams _
_ [Bbm] But _ _ _ _ [Ab]
that's a secret only
[Gb] _ _
[Db] Mara knows _ _ _ _ _
When
Amsterdam _ is cold and in the morning Margaret _ brings him [F] breakfast
_ She believes him
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Ab] He thinks the tulips _ [Gb] bloom beneath [Db] the snow _ _ _
_ He's [Eb] mad as he can be [Ab] but Margaret [Db] only [Ab] sees that [Bbm] sometimes _ _ _ _ _
Sometimes [Eb] she sees her [Ab] unborn children _ [Db] in his eyes
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Let [Eb] us go [Ebm] to the banks [Db] of the ocean

_ _ _ _ _ _ The Dutchman [Db] still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with [G] love that _ Margaret's sold him

_ He watches tugboats down canals and he calls out to them when he [G] thinks he knows the captain
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Ab] Till Margaret comes to take him [Gb] home [Db] _ again _ _
_ _ Through [Eb] _ unforgiving streets the trip him though [Db] she [Cm] holds his [Bbm] arm _ _ _ _ _

_ [G] She _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
learned _ [Ab] _ it when the tune [Gb] was [Db] very new _ _
