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