_ _ _ The Dutchman's not the kind of man, he keeps his thumb jammed in the dam, [C#m] that [G#m] holds his dreams in. _
_ _ _ [F#] But that's a secret [B] only Margaret knows, _ when Amsterdam is golden in the morning, Margaret
brings him breakfast, [C#m] she believes him.
_ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] He thinks the [C#m] tulips bloom [B] beneath the snow, he's mad as he can be, but Margaret only
sees that [G#m] sometimes, _ _ sometimes she [C#m] sees her [F#] unborn children in [E] his eyes.
[E] Let us go to the banks [D#m] of the ocean, _ [C#m] where the wall [F#] rise above the [B] sight of sea.
[G#m] _ [C#m] Long ago [F#] I used to [B] be a young [G#m] man, [C#m] and dear [F#] Margaret remembers that [B] for me. _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes, his cap and coat are patched with [C#m] love, but Margaret so is.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Sometimes he thinks he's [B] still in Rotterdam, _ he watches tugboats down canals, he calls
out to them when he thinks [G#m] he knows the captain, _ _ _ _ [F#] till Margaret comes to take [B] him home again.
Through [G#m] unforgiving [F#] streets, the trip him [B] though she holds his arm, [G#m] sometimes he [E] thinks
that [F#] he's alone and calls her name.
[B] _ [E] Let us go to the banks [D#] of the ocean, where [C#m] the walls [G#] rise above the sight of [G#m] sea.
_ [C#m] Long ago [F#] I used to [B] be a young [G#m] man, [C#m] and dear Margaret [F#] remembers [B] that for me.

_ _ _ _ _ _ The windmill twirls the winter wind, she winds his muffler tighter, [C#m]
they sit in the kitchen.
_ _ _ _ [F#]
Some tea with whiskey [B] keeps away the dew, _ he sees her for a moment, calls her name,
she makes the bed of humming [G#m] some old love song.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#]
She learns that when the tune [B] was very new, he [E] hums a line or two, [F#] they hum together [B] in
the night.
[G#m] The [C#m] Dutchman falls asleep [F#] and Margaret blows the candle [B] out.
Let [E] us go to the banks [D#m] of the ocean, _ [C#m] where the [F#] walls rise above the [B] sight of sea.
