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