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