Verse
G G2
The Dutchman is not the kind of man
E7 GM7 Am
to keep his thumb jambed in a dam that holds his dreams in.
D G Em
But that's a secret only Margaret knows. |
G G2
When Amsterdam is golden
E7 G2 Am
in the morning Margaret brings him breakfast. She believes him.
D G Em
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow. |
Am D Bm
He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes.
Am D7 G G7
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes. |
---Chorus------------------------------------------
C D Bm
Let us go to the banks of the ocean,
C D Em
where the walls rise a-bove the Zuider Zee.
C D Bm
Long a-go, I used to be a young man.
C D7 G
Now dear Margaret re-members that for me. [Intro]
