[Verse 1]
F#m
Johnny was an Englishman, from Derbyshire was he
    D                                             A
He had a wife so beautiful, had children one to three
   E
He loved them all so dearly, as only Johnny could
    Bm
And always did exactly as he should
 C#m  C#m
Yes! Yes!

F#m
Then one day he took a trip across the channel white
    D                                                    A
To where the streets are narrow, and bathed in crimson light
   E
He lives there to this day inside his dirty rotten shell
     Bm
This British lion now becomes a lamb
 C#m  C#m
Amsterdam!

[Verse 2]
 F#m
William was a sailor, upon the raging main
     D                                             A
Made port in London, Boston, New York, Germany and Spain
    E
He loved the girls so dearly, until their hearts were won
      Bm
Then sailed away into the setting sun
C#m  C#m
Yes! Yes!

 F#m
Breakfast on the table, Porter when you're dry
         D                                                 A
She'll love you in the morning, she'll love you 'till you die
       E
She'll love you 'till the day she's spent all your pay
            B
She's the devil's holy water by the dram
C#m C#m
Am ster daaam!

[Verse 3]
  F#m
So come all ye sailors, who live upon the main
     D                                         A
Remember dear old Jimmy when he left upon that train
     E
He wanders round old Amsterdam a-lookin' for his fix
      B
And Willy's life is never free of kicks
C#m  C#m
Yes! Yes!

F#m
Breakfast on the table, Porter when you're dry
D                                                         A
She'll love you in the morning, she'll love you 'till you die
E
She'll love you 'till the day she's spent all your pay
Bm
She's the devil's holy water by the dram
C#m  C#m
Amsterdam!
