[Verse 2]
When Amsterdam is golden
in the summer,
Margaret brings him [Dm]breakfast,
She believes [G]him.
He thinks the tulips bloom
[C]beneath the snow.

[Verse 3]
He's mad as [Dm]he can be,
[G]but Margaret only [C]sees that [G]some[Am] times,
Sometimes [Dm]she sees her unborn
[G]children in his [F]eyes.[C]

[Verse 4]
Let us [F]go to the [G]banks of the [C]ocean
Where the [Dm]walls rise [G]above
[Am]the Zuider [C]Zee.[Am]
Long [Dm]ago, I [G]used to be a young [C]man[Am]

Till Margaret comes to take
him home [C]again[G]
[C]Through [Dm]unforgiving

Where [Dm]the walls rise [G]above

[Verse 9]
[Csus4]windmills[C]
whirl the winter in
She winds his muffler tighter
As [Dm]they sit in [G]the kitchen.
Some tea with whiskey
keeps away [C]the dew.

[Verse 10]

He sees her for a moment,
calls her name out,
While she makes the bed up [G]singing
[Dm]some old love song[G],
A song Margaret learned
when it was [C]very new.

[G]they sing toget[C]her in the[Am] dark.
The Dutchman [Dm]falls [G]asleep and Margaret
blows [F]the candle [C]out.
