The Dutchman Capo 3 (Steve Goodman)
C The Dutchman's not the kind of man
To keep his thumb jammed in the dam
Dm That holds his dreams in,
G But that's a secret only C Margaret knows.
C When Amsterdam is golden, in the morning
Margaret brings him breakfast.
Dm She believes him.
G He thinks the tulips bloom C beneath the snow.
C He's Am mad as F he can be, but G Margaret only C sees that Am sometimes,
Am Sometimes she F sees her unborn G children in his C eyes
Chorus:
Let us F go to the banks of the Em ocean
Where the F walls rise G above the Zuider C Zee.
Long Dm ago, I G used to be a C young man Am
And dear F Margaret rem G embers that for C me.
C The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes,
His cap and coat are patched with the love
Dm That Margaret sewed there.
G Sometimes he thinks he's still in C Rotterdam.
C He watches tug-boats down canals, and calls out to them
when he thinks he Dm knows the Captain.
Till G Margaret comes to take him C home again
C Through unfor Am giving F streets that G trip him, C though she holds his Am arm,
Am Sometimes he F thinks he's G alone, he calls her C name.
Chorus:
Let us F go to the banks of the Em ocean
Where the F walls rise G above the Zuider C Zee.
Long Dm ago, I G used to be a C young man Am
And dear F Margaret rem G embers that for C me.
C The winters whirl the windmills 'round
She winds his muffler tighter
As they sit Dm in the kitchen.
G Some tea with whiskey keeps away the C dew.
C He sees her for a moment, calls her name,
She makes the bed up singing Dm some old love song,
G She learned it when the song was C very new
C He hums a Am line or F two, they G sing together C in the Am dark
Am The Dutchman F falls asleep and G Margaret blows the C candle out.
Chorus:
Let us F go to the banks of the Em ocean
Where the F walls rise G above the Zuider C Zee.
Long Dm ago, I G used to be a C young man Am
And dear F Margaret rem G embers that for C me.
Long Dm ago, I G used to be a C young man Am
And dear F Margaret rem G embers that for C me.
