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