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