C
The Dutchman's not the kind of man
to keep his thumb jammed in the dam
Dm G
That holds his dreams in,
C
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows.
C
When Amsterdam is golden,
Dm
Margaret brings him breakfast,
G
She believes him.
G C
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow.
Dm G C C G C Am
He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes,

Dm G C
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes.

Dm G C G Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Dm G C G Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Dm G C G Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man
Dm G C
And dear Margaret remembers that from me.

C
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
His cap and coat are patched with the love
Dm
That Margaret sewed there.
G C
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam.
C
He watches the tug-boats down canals
Dm G
An' calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain.
C
Till Margaret comes To take him home again
Dm G C G Am
Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm,
Dm G C
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name.

Dm G C G Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Dm G C G Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Dm G C G Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man
Dm G C
And dear Margaret remembers that from me.

C
Ohh the windmills swirl the winter wind
She winds his muffler tighter
Dm
they sit in the kitchen.
G C
And a tea with whiskey keeps away the dew.
He sees her for a moment, calls her name,
Dm G
She makes the bed up singing some old love song,
C
She learned it when the tune was very new
Dm G C G Am
He hums a line or two, they hum together in the night.
Dm G C
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out.


Dm G C G Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Dm G C G Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Dm G C G Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man
Dm G C
And dear Margaret remembers that from me.

Dm G C G Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Dm G C G Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee.
Dm G C G Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man
Dm G C
And dear Margaret remembers that from me.
