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