    C                  C/A
The Dutchman's not the kind of man
    C9/B                      C6
Who keeps his thumb jammed in the 
dam
     Dm
That holds his dreams in
G                        C       
But that's a secret only Margret 
      C/A  C9/B  C/A
knows
     C            C/A
When Amsterdam is golden
       C9/B            C/A
in the summer, Margret brings him 
breakfast;
Dm
she believes him
G                            Em
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath 
the snow
Continúa después del anuncio
            Dm            G       
He's mad as he can be but Margret 
     Em
only sees that sometimes
              Dm             
Sometimes she sees her unborn 
 G               C      C7
children in his eyes

(Chorus:)
       F         G            Em
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
          Dm         G       
Where the walls rise above the 
         C   C7
Zeider Zee
      F     G            Em
Long ago, I used to be a young man
    Dm        G                C  
But Margret remembers that for me
C/A  C9/B  C/A



The Dutchman still wears wooden 
shoes
His coat and cap are patched with
The love that Margret sewed there
Sometimes he thinks he's still in 
Rotterdam
He watches tugboats, down canals
And calls out to them when he thinks
He knows the captains
'Til Margret comes to take him home 
again
Through unforgiving streets that 
trip him
Though she holds his arm
Sometimes he thinks that he's alone
And calls out her name.

(Chorus)

The windmills whirl the winter in
She winds his muffler tighter as 
they sit in the kitchen
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the
 dew
He sees her for a moment, calls her 
name
She makes the bed up singing some 
old love song
A song that Margret learned when it 
was very new
He hums a line or two, they sing 
together in the dark
The Dutchman falls asleep and 
Margret blows the candle out
