Hi nice quiet love song [E] after that could we have nice some nice [G] quiet light
[Bbm] [Ab] Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the [Gb] walls rise above the cider [Db] Z
Long ago.
I used to be a young man
[Eb] And dear Margaret remembers that for me is one of my favorite songs at the [A] moment
[Dm] It's kind of a day in the life of story of an old couple [Abm] living somewhere in the [G] cold miserable flat in Amsterdam
The old man is shell-shocked he's kind of [Gb] lost in his [G] youth
[B] but
[F] Old [Eb] Margaret still loves him still [A] takes care of [Dm] him.
He's called the Dutchman
[Bbm]
[Eb]
[Db]
[Bbm]
Or the Dutchman [Db] is not the kind of man to keep his thumb jammed in the dam [F] that holds his dreams
[Bbm] But [Ab]
that's a secret only
[Gb]
[Db] Mara knows
When
Amsterdam is cold and in the morning Margaret brings him [F] breakfast
She believes him
[Bbm]
[Ab] He thinks the tulips [Gb] bloom beneath [Db] the snow
He's [Eb] mad as he can be [Ab] but Margaret [Db] only [Ab] sees that [Bbm] sometimes
Sometimes [Eb] she sees her [Ab] unborn children [Db] in his eyes
Let [Eb] us go [Ebm] to the banks [Db] of the ocean
Where [Ebm] the walls rise [Ab] above the [Db] cider Z
Long [Ebm] ago.
[Ab] I used to [Db] be a young man
[Bbm]
and [Ebm] dear
Margaret [Ab]
remembers that [Db] for me
[Bbm]
The Dutchman [Db] still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with [G] love that Margaret's sold him
[Bbm] [Ab] Sometimes he thinks he's still [Gb] in [Db] Rotterdam
He watches tugboats down canals and he calls out to them when he [G] thinks he knows the captain
[Bbm]
[Ab] Till Margaret comes to take him [Gb] home [Db] again
Through [Eb] unforgiving streets the trip him though [Db] she [Cm] holds his [Bbm] arm
Sometimes [Ebm] he thinks that [Eb] he's [Ab] alone and [Db] calls her name
Let [Ebm] us go to the banks [Db] of the ocean
Where [Ebm] the walls [Ab] rise above the [Db] cider Z
Long [Ebm] ago [Ab] I used to [Bb] be
[Db] young [Bbm] man
[Eb] and dear Margaret
[Ab] remembers that [Db] for me [Bbm] Oh
[Fm]
[Bbm] The windmill swirl [Db] the winter in she winds his muffler tighter
[F] They sit in the kitchen
[Bbm] And [Ab] the tea with whiskey [Gb] keeps away [Db] the dew
He [Bbm] sees her [Db] for a moment
Calls her name she makes his bed up
[G] She
[Bbm]
learned [Ab] it when the tune [Gb] was [Db] very new
He [Eb] hums a line or two [Ab] they hum together
[Db]
[Ab] The [Bbm]
[Ebm] Dutchman falls asleep
[Ab] Margaret blows [Db] the candle
Let [Ebm] us go to the banks [Db] of the ocean
where [Ebm] the walls [Ab] rise above the [Db] cider Z
Long ago I used to be young man
[Ebm]
[Ab] I used to be
[Db] a young [Bbm] man
And [Ebm] dear Margaret
[Abm] remembers
[Db] that for me
Let [Ebm] us go to the banks [Db] of the ocean
Where [Ebm] the walls [Ab] rise above
the [Db] cider's year.
[Ebm] Long ago [Ab] I used to [Db] be a young [Bbm] man, and dear [Bb] Margaret [Ab]
remembers that [Db] for me.
