Amsterdam David Bowie
In the p[Am]ort of Amsterdam
There's [Em]a sailor who sings
Of the d[F]reams that he brings
From a w[E]ide open sea
And in t[Am]he port of Amsterdam
There's [Em]a sailor who sleeps
While th[F]e river [E7]bank weeps
To the o[Am]ld willow tree
And in t[C]he port of Amsterdam
There's [G7]a sailor[E7] who dies
Full of [Am]beers full of cries
In a dru[E7]nken down fight
And in t[F]he port of Amsterdam
There's [Em]a sailor who is born
On the h[Dm7]ot muggy[E7] morn
By the d[Am]awns early light
In the p[Am]ort of Amsterdam
Where th[Em]e sailors all meet
There's [F]a sailor who eats
Only fis[E]h heads and tails
He'll sh[Am]ow you his teeth
That hav[Em]e rotted too soon
That can[F] haul up[E7] the sails
That can[Am] swallow the moon
And he'l[C]l yell to the cook
With his[G7] arms op[E7]en wide
Oh bring[Am] me more fish
Though i[E7]t's down by my side
And he w[F]ants so to belch
But he's[Em] too full to try
So he st[Dm7]ands up [E7]and laughs
And he z[Am]ips up his flies
In the p[Am]ort of Amsterdam
You can [Em]see sailors dance
Paunches[F] bursting their pants
Grinding[E] women's with paunch (not sure about this line)
They've [Am]forgotten the tune
That the[Em]ir whiskey voice croaks
Splittin[F]g the ni[E7]ght
With the[Am] roar of their jokes
And they[C] turn and they dance
And they[G7] laugh a[E7]nd they lust
Till the[Am] rancid sound
Of the a[E7]ccordion bursts
And then[F] out of the night
With the[Em]ir pride in their pants
And the [Dm7]slut tha[E7]t they tow
Undernea[Am]th the street lamps
In the p[Am]ort of Amsterdam
There's [Em]a sailor who drinks
And he d[F]rinks and he drinks
And he d[E]rinks once again
Oh he dr[Am]inks to the health
Of the w[Em]hores of Amsterdam
Who have[F] given t[E7]heir bodies
To a tho[Am]usand other men
It's the[C]ir worth and their goodness
Their vi[G7]rtues al[E7]l gone
For the [Am]few dirty coins
When he [E7]just can't go on
Throws h[F]is nose to the sky
And he a[Em]ims it up above
[Dm7] [E7] And he pisses like I cry
For an u[Am]nfaithful love
In the p[Am]ort of Amsterdam
In the p[Em]ort of Amsterdam[Dm] [E7] [Am]
