1 16 1maj7 16 The Dutchman not the kind of man, to keep his thumb jammed in the dam
2m7 * That holds his dreams in
5 1 16 . But that's the secret only Marg'ret knows
1 16 1maj7 16 When Amsterdam is golden in the morning when Margaret brings his breakfast
2m7 * She believes him
5 1 . He thinks that tulips bloom be-neath the snow
4 3m 6m He's mad as he can be, but Marg'ret only sees that sometimes
2m 5 1 Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes
CHORUS:
2m 3m Let us go to the banks of the ocean
4 5 3m 6m Where the walls rise a-bove the Zuider Zee
2m 5 3m 6m Long a-go I used to be a young man
2m 5 4 5 And dear Marg'ret re-members that for me_____

THE DUTCHMAN (page 2)
1 16 The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with love that Margeret sewed in
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam
He watches tugboats down canals
Calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain
Till Margaret comes to take him home again
Through unforgiving streets that trip him though she holds his arm
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and calls her name
The windmill whirls the winter wind, she winds his muffler tighter
They sit in the kitchen, and tea with whiskey keeps away the dew
He see's her for a moment
Calls her name, she makes his bed up
Humming some old love song
She learned it when the tune was very new
She hums a line or two, they hum together in the night
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out
