Am Em In the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sings F Em Of the dreams that he brings from a wide-open sea Am Em And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sleeps C Em Am as the river bank weeps with the old willow tree C G And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who dies Am Em full of beer, full of cries from a drunken town fight F Em And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who's born C Em Am on a hot, muggy morn, 'neath the dawns early light Am Em In the Port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet F Em there's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails Am Em He'll show you his teeth that have rotted too soon C Em Am That could haul up the sails, that could swallow the moon. C G And he'll scream to the cook, with his arms open wide Am Em Bring me more fish, throw'em down by my side F Em And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try C Em Am So he stands up and laughs, and then unzips his fly Am Em In the Port of Amsterdam, you can watch sailors dance F Em **Honchos burst in their pants, finding women to punch Am Em They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaked C Em Am Spending the night with the roar of their joke C G And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust Am Em To the rancid sound of their accordion burst F Em And then out in the night with their pride in their pants C Em Am And the sluts after **two underneath the street lamps Am Em In the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who drinks F Em And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again Am Em And he drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam C Em Am Who have given themselves to a thousand other men C G And they'll trade in their virtue, their goodness all gone Am Em For a **pilfery of coins, till they just can't go on F Em Throws his nose to the sky, and he aims up above C Em Am And then pisses a cry for an unfaithful love Am Em In the PORT OF AMSTERDAM, In the PORT OF AMSTERDAM!!! C G Em Am
