[C]
The Dutchman's not [Am] the kind of man who keeps his thumb jammed in the [Dm] dam that holds his dreams in
[G]
But that's a secret [C] that only Margaret knows
When Amsterdam is [Am] golden [C] in the summer [Am] Margaret brings him [Dm] breakfast she believes him
He [G] thinks the tulips [C] bloom beneath the snow
He's [F] mad as he could [G] be but Margaret [C] only sees that [Am] sometimes
Sometimes she sees [G] her unborn [C] children inside
[Dm] Let us go to the banks [Em] of the ocean
Where [Dm] the walls [G] rise above the [C] tides are deep
[Dm] Long ago [G] I used to [C] be a young man
[Dm] And dear Margaret [G] remembers [C] that for me
[F] The [C] Dutchman [Am] still wears wooden shoes his cap and coat are patched with [Dm] the love that Margaret sold there
[G] Sometimes he thinks he's [C] still in Rotterdam
[F] [Am] And [C] he watches the [Am] tugboats down canals calls out to them when he [Dm] thinks he knows the captain
[G] Till Margaret comes to [C] take him home again
Through [Dm] unforgiving [G] streets that trip him [Am] though.
She holds his arm
[Dm] Sometimes [G] he thinks he's alone [C] and he calls her name
Let [Dm] us go to the banks of [Em] the ocean
Where the [Dm] walls rise [G] above the [C] tide is deep

The [Em] [Am]
[Dm] [C] [F]
[G] [C] [Am] winters whirl the windmills round she winds his muffler [Dm] tighter and they sit in the kitchen
Some [C] [G] tea with whiskey [C] keeps away the dew
And he sees her [Am] for a moment calls her name
[C] She makes the [Dm] bed of singing some old love song [G] a song
Margaret learned [C] when it was very new
He [Dm] hums a line or [G] two
They [C] sing together [Am] in the dark [Dm] the Dutchman falls asleep [G] and Margaret [C] blows the candle out
Let [Dm] us go to the banks [Em] of the ocean
Where [Dm] the [C] walls [G] rise above the [C] tide is deep
