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