CAPO 3
Em
In the port of Amsterdam
Bm
There's a sailor who sings
C
Of the dreams that he brings
B
From a wide open sea
Em
And in the port of Amsterdam
Bm
There's a sailor who sleeps
C B7
While the river bank weeps
Em
To the old willow tree
G
And in the port of Amsterdam
D7 B7
There's a sailor who dies
Em
Full of beers full of cries
B7
In a drunken down fight
C
And in the port of Amsterdam
Bm
There's a sailor who is born
Am7 B7
On the hot muggy morn
Em
By the dawns early light
Em
In the port of Amsterdam
Bm
Where the sailors all meet
C
There's a sailor who eats
B
Only fish heads and tails
Em
He'll show you his teeth
Bm
That have rotted too soon
C B7
That can drink down the moon
Em
That can haul up the sails
G
And he turns to the cook
D7 B7
With his arms open wide
Em
Oh bring me more fish
B7
Set it down by my side
C
And he wants so to belch
Bm
But he's too full to try
