Liam Clancy - The Dutchman, аккорды

Capo 1 or 3 

C
The Dutchman's not the kind of man  
To keep his thumb jammed in the dam  
Dm
That holds his dreams in,  
G
  
C
But that's a secret only Margaret knows.  
C
When Amsterdam is golden, in the morning  
Margaret brings him breakfast.  
Dm
She believes him.  
G
  
C
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow.  
C
  
F
  
G
  
C
  
Am
He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes,  
Am
  
F
  
G
  
C
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes  
 
Chorus: 
F
  
Em
Let us go to the banks of the ocean  
F
  
G
  
C
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.  
Dm
  
G
  
C
  
Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man 
F
  
G
  
C
And dear Margaret remembers that for me. 
 
C
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,  
His cap and coat are patched with the love  
Dm
That Margaret sewed there.  
G
  
C
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam.  
C
 
He watches tug-boats down canals, and calls out to them  
Dm
when he thinks he knows the Captain.  
G
  
C
Till Margaret comes to take him home again            
C
  
Am
  
F
  
C
  
Am
Through unforgiving streets that trip him 
though she holds his arm,
Am
  
F
  
G
  
C
Sometimes he thinks he's alone, he calls her name.  
  
Chorus: 
F
  
Em
Let us go to the banks of the ocean  
F
  
G
  
C
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.  
Dm
  
G
  
C
  
Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man
F
  
G
  
C
And dear Margaret remembers that for me. 
 
C
The winters whirl the windmills 'round  
She winds his muffler tighter  
Dm
As they sit in the kitchen.  
G
  
C
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.  
C
He sees her for a moment, calls her name,  
Dm
She makes the bed up singing some old love song,  
G
  
C
She learned it when the song was very new 
Am
  
Dm
  
G
  
C
  
Am
He hums a line or two, they sing together in the dark
Am
  
F
  
G
  
C
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out.

F
  
Em
Let us go to the banks of the ocean  
F
  
G

Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.

Long ago, I used to be a young man

C
And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

And dear Margaret remembers that for me.
