[C] And in the port of Amsterdam, [G] there's a [E] sailor who died.
[Am] Full of fear, full of [E] cries in a drunken sound fight.
And [F] in the port of Amsterdam, [E] there's a sailor [Em] who has come.
[D] On a [Am] hot [E] muggy moon, [Am] by the dawn's early light.
In the port of Amsterdam, where [Em] the sailor don't miss,
[F] There's a sailor who is, [E] only to shed some tails,
[Am] And he'll show you his pin, [Em] that have rotten too soon.
[Am] They can haul the [E] sails, they [Am] can swallow the moon,
[C] And the yellow snood of cook, [G] with his arms [E] open wide.
[Am] Hey!
Bring me my fish, [Em] though he's down by [E] my side.
[F] And he wants some soup, but [Em] it's too full to try,
[Am] So he stands [E] up and laughs, [Am] and he takes up his flag.
In a port of Amsterdam, [Em] you can see sailors dance,
What [F] is first in the past, [E] early women report,
[Am] They've forgotten their jokes, [Em] with their winky white lips.
[F] Spades [E] in the night, [Am] with the roar of their coast,
[C] And they turn and they laugh, [G] and they don't [Am] stand a laugh,
To the rancid sounds [Em] of the [E] accordion bus,
[F] And the mouth of the night, [Em] with their pride in their pants,
[Dm] And the sloth [E] that they tow, [Am] on the leafless green land.
In a port of Amsterdam, [Em] there's a sailor who drinks,
[F] Many drinks, many drinks, [E] many drinks once again,
[Am] Filled green to the hilt, [Em] for the whole of Amsterdam.
[D] Oh, the people, [E] they're running, [Am] to a thousand other men,
[C] They're the merchants, [G] they're the [Am] soldiers,
For a few dirty coins, [Em] for any pesky [E] con,
[F] Well, they've gone to the [Em] sky, and seen that alone,
[D] And he misses like [E] a guy, [Am] on the old faithful road,
In a port of Amsterdam, [Em] in a port of Amsterdam.
