Piano intro
E minorEm D MajorD repeatedly
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Old lady with a barrow; life near ending
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending
A minorAm D MajorD
children on the cold sea swell ---
FF G+G D MajorD
not fishers of men ---
A minorAm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
gone to chase away the last herring:
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
come empty home again.
FF G+G
So come all you lovers of the good life
FF G+G D MajorD
on your supermarket run ---
FF G+G
Set a sail of your own devising
C majorC G+G D MajorD
and be there when the Dutchman comes,
A minorAm G+G D MajorD BB
you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.
E minorEm D...
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Wee girl in a straw hat: from far east warring
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Sad cargo of an old ship: young bodies whoring
A minorAm D MajorD
Slow ocean hobo ---
FF G+G D MajorD
ports closed to her crew
A minorAm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
No hope of immigration ---
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
keep on passing through.
FF G+G
So come all you lovers of the good life
FF G+G D MajorD
your children playing in the sun ---
FF G+G
Set a sympathetic flag a-flying
C majorC G+G D MajorD
and be there when the Dutchman comes,
A minorAm G+G D MajorD BB
you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.
Instrumental:
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD x4
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD x5 (?)
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Death grinning like a scarecrow --- Flying Dutchman
E minorEm D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
Seagull pilots flown from nowhere --- try and touch one
A minorAm D MajorD
as she slips in on the full tide
FF G+G D MajorD
and the harbour-master yells
A minorAm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
All hands vanished with the captain ---
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
no one left, the tale to tell.
FF G+G
So come all you lovers of the good life
FF G+G D MajorD
Look around you, can you see?
FF G+G
Staring ghostly in the mirror ---
C majorC G+G D MajorD
it's the Dutchman you will be
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
..floating slowly out to sea
C majorC
in a misty misery.
E minorEm D MajorD repeatedly
End:
