_ _ In the port of Amsterdam there's [G] a sailor who sings
[F] Of the dreams that he brings [E] from the wide open sea
In [Am] the port of Amsterdam [G] there's a sailor who sleeps
While [F] the [E] riverbank weeps to the [Am] old willow tree
_ [C] In the port of Amsterdam [G] there's a sailor who [E] dies
Full [Am] of beer, full of cries, in a drunken [E] down fight
But [F] in the port of Amsterdam _ [Em] there's a sailor who's born
[D] On a muggy hot [E] morn, [Am] by the dawn's early _ light
_ _ In the port of Amsterdam [G] where the sailors all meet
There's a [F] sailor who eats [E] only fish heads and tails
He will [Am] show you his teeth [G] that have rotted too soon
[F] That can swallow the [E] moon, [Am] that can haul up the sails
[C] And he yells to the cook [G] with his arms open wide
[Am] Bring me more fish, put it [E] down by my side
And he [F] wants so to belch, but [Em] he's too full to try
[Dm] So he gets up [E] and he laughs [Am] and he zips up his fly
In the port of Amsterdam [G] you can see sailors dance
[F] Punches bursting their fat, grinding [E] women to pot
[Am] They've forgotten the tune that [G] their whiskey voice croaks
And [F] they're splitting [E] the night [Am] with the roar of their jokes
And [C] they turn and they dance and [G] they laugh and they lust
[Am]
To the ratcheted sounds [E] of the accordion burst
[F] Then it's out into the night [Em] with their pride in their pants
[Dm] With a slut that they tow [Am] underneath the street lamps
In the port of Amsterdam [G] there's a sailor who drakes
[F] And he drakes and he drakes [E] and he drakes once again
[Am] He drakes to the health [G] of the whores of Amsterdam
[F] Who have promised [E] their love [Am] to a thousand other men
And [C] they bargain their bodies and [G] their for too long
Gone [Am] for a few dirty coins [E] and then when he can't go on
He [F] plants his nose in the sky and [Em] he wipes it up above
And [Dm] he spits like I cry [C] for an unfaithful love
[Em] In the port of Amsterdam
