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