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