The Dutchman's not the kind of man
To keep his thumb jammed in [Am] the dam
That holds [A] his [Am] dreams in
[D] But that's a secret only Margaret [G] knows
When Amsterdam is golden
In the morning Margaret brings [Am] him breakfast
She [E] believes him
[Am] [D] He thinks the tulips [G] bloom beneath the snow
[Am] He's mad as he can be
But Margaret only [Bm] sees that sometimes
[Am] Sometimes she sees her unborn children [C] in his eyes
[G] [Am] Let us go to the banks of the [D] ocean
[Am] Where the walls [D] rise above the cider's [G] ear
Long ago [D] I used to be a [Em] man
But dear Margaret [D] remembers that [G] for me
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with the [Am] love that Margaret [B] sold
[Am] [D] Sometimes he thinks he's still [G] in Rotterdam
He watches tugboats down canals
And calls out to them when he thinks [Am] he knows The captain
[D] Till Margaret comes to take [G] him home again
Through the [Am] unforgiving streets
That trip him though she [D] holds his arm
[Am] Sometimes he thinks he's alone and calls her [G] name
[Am] Let us go to the banks of the [F#m] ocean
[Am] Where the walls rise above the [G] cider's ear
Long ago [Am] I used to be a man
[Am] But dear Margaret [D] remembers that for [G] me
The windmills whirl the winter in
She winds his muffler tighter and they [Am] sit in
[D] Some tea with whiskey keeps [G] away the dew
He sees her for a moment, calls her name
She makes his bed up, [Am] singing some old love song
She [D] learnt it when the song was very new
He [Am] hums a line or two, they hum together [D] in the [Em] night
The Dutchman falls asleep, [D] Margaret blows the candle out
[G] [Am] Let us go [D] to the banks of the [Em] ocean
Where the walls [D] rise above the [G] cider's ear
Long ago [D] I used to be [G] a young man
[Em] But dear [D] Margaret remembers that for [C] me
[Am]
To keep his thumb jammed in [Am] the dam
