The Dutchman chords by Liam Clancy

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
G+G
The Dutchman's not the kind of man, who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
   A minorAm
That holds his dreams in
  D MajorD             G+G
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows
G+G
When Amsterdam is golden in the morning Margaret brings him breakfast
A minorAm
She believes him
D MajorD              G+G
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow
      E minorEm   A minorAm   D MajorD       G+G
He's mad as he can be but Margaret only sees that sometimes
  E minorEm    A minorAm       D MajorD        G+G
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes

Chorus:
    E minorEm    A minorAm  D MajorD   E minorEm
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
     A minorAm     D MajorD        G+G
Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee
    E minorEm  A minorAm   D MajorD  G+G
Long a go, I used to be a young man
     E minorEm A minorAm   D MajorD        G+G
And dear Margaret remembers that for me

Verse 2:
  G+G
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes, his cap and coat are patched with the love
   A minorAm
That Margaret sewed there
D MajorD                 G+G
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam
G+G
He watches tug boats down canals, and calls out to them
         A minorAm
When he thinks he knows the Captain
D MajorD                G+G
'Til Margaret comes to take him home again
     E minorEm    A minorAm      D MajorD          G+G
Through unforgiving streets that trick him though she holds his arm
       A minorAm        D MajorD          G+G
Sometimes he thinks that he's alone and calls her name

Chorus:
    E minorEm    A minorAm  D MajorD   E minorEm
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
     A minorAm     D MajorD        G+G
Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee
   E minorEm   A minorAm   D MajorD  G+G
Long ago, I used to be a young man
     E minorEm A minorAm  D MajorD         G+G
And dear Margaret remembers that for me

Verse 3:
  G+G
The windmills whirl the winter in, she winds his muffler tighter,
     A minorAm
They sit in the kitchen
   D MajorD                G+G
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew
G+G
He sees her for a moment, calls her name
               A minorAm
She makes the bed up humming some old love song
  D MajorD                 G+G
She learned it when the tune was very new
     A minorAm        D MajorD          G+G
He hums a line or two, they hum together in the night
       A minorAm        D MajorD         G+G
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out.

Chorus:
    E minorEm    A minorAm  D MajorD   E minorEm
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
     A minorAm     D MajorD        G+G
Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee
   E minorEm   A minorAm   D MajorD  G+G
Long ago, I used to be a young man
     E minorEm A minorAm  D MajorD         G+G
