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