Verse
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
There's a sailor who sings
G
Of the dreams that he brings
F#m/A F#
From the wide open sea
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
There's a sailor who sleeps
G F#
While the river bank weeps
Bm
To the old willow tree
D
In the port of Amsterdam
A F#/G
There's a sailor who dies
Bm
Full of beer, full of cries
F#m/A F#
In a drunken town fight
G
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
There's a sailor who's born
G F#m/A
On a hot muggy morn
Bm
By the dawn's early light
(The rest of the song is strummed in 3/4 time)
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
Where the sailors all meet
G
There's a sailor who eats
F#m/A
Only fish heads and tails
Bm
And he'll show you his teeth
F#m/A
That have rotted too soon
G
That can haul up the sails
F# Bm
That can swallow the moon
D
And he yells to the cook
A F#/G
With his arms open wide
Bm
"Hey, bring me more fish
F#m/A
Throw it down by my side"
G
And he wants so to belch
F#m/A
But he's too full to try
G
So he stands up and laughs
F#m/A Bm
And he zips up his fly
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
You can see sailors dance
G
Paunches bursting their pants
F#m/A
Grinding women to porch
Bm
They've forgotten the tune
F#m/A
That their whiskey voice croaked
G
Splitting the night
F# Bm
With the roar of their jokes
D
And they turn and they dance
A F#/G
And they laugh and they lust
Bm F#m/A
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
G
And then out of the night
F#m/A
With their pride in their pants
G
And the sluts that they tow
F#m/A Bm
Underneath the street lamps
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#m/A
There's a sailor who drinks
G
And he drinks and he drinks
F#m/A
And he drinks once again
Bm
He'll drink to the health
F#m/A
Of the whores of Amsterdam
G
Who've given their bodies
F# Bm
To a thousand other men
D
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
A F#/G
Their goodness all gone
Bm
For a few dirty coins
F#m/A
Well he just can't go on
G
Throws his nose to the sky
F#m/A
And he aims it up above
G
And he pisses like I cry
F#m/A Bm
On the unfaithful love
Bm
In the port of Amsterdam
F#
In the port of Amsterdam
G F# Am. E. Am.
