"De Noordzee" by Boudewijn de Groot (released 1965).
It is a translation of "Golden Vanity".
The song goes 86 beats/minute. Lines 1 till 6 have a 8/8 beat.
Lines 7 till 10 have a 4/8 beat, so 2 chords per line.
There was a discussion where chord D should be.
- Is it on "zee" line 9, or between line 9 and 10,
- or on the first word of line 10? Just do what you like and enjoy!
The Dutch are known for hating ballads, but this song is the big exeption.
It tells in old-Dutch words an ancient story,
- about a little Dutch ship and an huge enemy gallion.
Play clear and focus on the lyrics.
You can use fingerpicking to play the chords (see intro).
The situation describtion and planning is done in verse 1-3.
- Play this a bit surprized.
The action is in verse 4. Play here firm and strong.
The beginning of verse 5 is happy.
The last part is talking, keep it clear and a bit emotional.
Play verse 7 slower and slower (sad).

[Verse 1]
G
Daar zeilde op de Noordzee,
Em
de Noordzee wijd en koud.
Am
Een schip zo zwaar beladen
D
met 's werelds ijdel goud.
G
Daar kwam de Spanjaard dreigen
Em
te roven ons het goud.
Am D
Toen we voeren op de Noordzee,
G Em
de Noordzee, de Noordzee
Am
al op de Noordzee
