[Intro]
D D D Em A D Em
A D
[Verse 1]
A
Dutchman's not the kind of man to keep his thumb
Em
Jammed in the dam that holds his dreams in
A
But that's a secret only
D
Margaret knows
When Amsterdam is golden in the morning
Em
Margaret brings him breakfast
She believes him
A D
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow
Em
He's mad as he can be
A D
But Margaret only sees that sometimes
Em A D
She often sees her unborn children in his eyes
[Chorus]
Em F#m
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Em A D
Where the walls rise above the zuiderzee
D
Long ago
Em A D
I used to be a young man
And dear
Em A D
Margaret remembers that for me
[Verse 2]
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with the love that
Em
Margaret sewed in
A D
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam
He watches tugboats down canals and calls out to
Em A
Them when he thinks he knows the captain
D Em
Then Margaret comes to take him home again through unforgiving
A D
Streets that trip him though she holds his arm
