[Bb]
[Gm]
[Bb]
Well the Dutchman's not the kind of man who keeps his thumb jammed in [Gm] the dam that holds his dreams in
[F] Well, that's a secret only [Bb] Margaret know
For when Amsterdam is golden in the morning Margaret [Gm] brings her breakfast
She believes him
[F] He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the [Bb] snow
He's [Cm] mad as he can be
[F] Margaret [Bb] only sees that sometimes sometimes [Cm] she sees their [F] unborn children [Bb] in his eye
Let's [Cm] go [F] to the banks [Bb] of the ocean
Where [Cm] the walls [F] rise above the [Bb] Zeiters see
[Cm] Long ago, [F] I used to be [Bb] a young man
Now [Cm] dear Margaret
[F] remembers that for [Bb] me
Well the Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cabin coats all [Gm] patched with love
Margaret sold him
[F] Sometimes he thinks he's still in [Bb] Rotterdam
As he watches took boats down canals
Calls out to them when he thinks [Gm] he knows the captain
[F] Till Margaret comes to take him home [Bb] again Through
[Cm] unforgiving streets [F] the trip in though [Bb] she holds his own
Sometimes [Cm] he thinks [F] he's alone and [Bb] calls her name
[Cm] Let's go [F] to the banks [Bb] of the ocean
Where [Cm] the walls [F] rise above the [Bb] Zeiters see
Long [Cm] ago, [F] I used to be [Bb] a young man
Now [Cm] dear Margaret
[F] remembers that for [Bb] me
Now the winter whirls the windmills in she winds as my flute tighter
[Gm] They sit in the kitchen
[F] Tea with whiskey keeps away the [Bb] dew
He sees her for a moment
He calls her name out.
She makes the bed up
[Gm] Humming some old love song
[F] She learned it when the tune was very [Bb] new
She hums [Cm] a line or two [F] they hum together [Bb] in the night
The Dutchman [Cm] falls asleep [F]
and Margaret blows [Bb] the candles out
[Cm] Let's go [F] to the banks [Bb] of the ocean
Where the [Cm] walls [F] rise above the [Bb] Zeiters see
[Cm] Long ago
[F] Why I used to be [Bb] a young man
Now [Cm] dear Margaret
[F] remembers that for [Bb] me
[Cm] Let's go [F] to the banks [Bb] of the ocean
Where [Cm] the walls [Bb] rise [F] above the [Bb] Zeiters see [Cm] Long ago
[F] Why I used to [Bb] be a young man
Now [Cm] dear Margaret
[F] remembers that for [Bb] me
