In the [Am] portx of Amsterdam, there's a [G] sailorx who sings
of the[F] dreamsx that he brings from the [E] widex open seas.
In the[Am] portx of Amsterdam, there's a [G] sailorx who sleeps
while the[F] riverbankx [E] weepsx through the [Am] oldx willow trees.
In the[C] portx of Amsterdam, there's a [G] sailorx who dies
full of[Am] beer,x full of cries in a [E] drunkenx down fight.
In the[F] portx of Amsterdam, there a [Em] sailorx who's born
on a[F] muggyx hot [E] morn,x by the [Am] dawn'sx early light.
In the[Am] portx of Amsterdam, where the [G] sailorsx all meet,
there's a[F] sailorx who eats only [E] fishx heads and tails.
He will[Am] showx you his teeth that have [G] rottedx too soon
that can[F] swallowx the [E] moon,x that can [Am] haulx up the sail.
And he[C] yellsx to the cook with his [G] armsx open wide,
[Am]bringx me more fish, put it [E] downx by my side.
And he[F] wantsx so to belch, but he's [Em] toox full to try
so he[F] getsx up and he [E] laughs,x and he [Am] zipsx up his fly.
In the[Am] portx of Amsterdam, you can [G] seex sailors dance,
haunches[F] burstingx their pants, grinding [E] womenx to paunch.
They've for[Am]gottenx the tune that their [G] whiskyx voice croaked,
and they're[F] spittingx the [E] nightx with the [Am] roarx of their jokes.
And they[C] turnx and they dance, and they [G] laughx and they lust
to the[Am] rancidx sound of the ac[E]cordion'sx burst.
then it's[F] outx into the night with their [Em] pridex in their pants
and a[F] slutx that they [E] towx under[Am]neathx the street lamps.
In the[Am] portx of Amsterdam, there's a [G] sailorx who drinks.
and he[F] drinks,x and he drinks, and he [E] drinksx once again.
He[Am] drinksx to the health of the [G] whoresx of Amsterdam
who have[F] promisedx their [E] lovex to a [Am] thousandx other men.
And they[C] bargainx their bodies and their [G] virtue,x long gone,
for a[Am] fewx dirty coins, and when [E] hex can't go on,
he plants his[F] nosex in the sky and we [Em] wipesx it up above
then he[F] splitsx like I [E] cryx for an [Am] unfaithfulx love,
in the[Em] portx of Amsterdam, in the [Am] portx of Amsterdam, in the [Em] portx of Amsterdam.
