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