The Dutchman taby ukulele według Liam Clancy (Chwyty barytonu)

C
The Dutchman's not the kind of man 
to keep his thumb jammed in the dam 
     Dm                   G
That holds his dreams in, 
                              C
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows. 
C
When Amsterdam is golden, 
                               Dm
Margaret brings him breakfast, 
                    G
She believes him.   
G                          C
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow. 
            Dm             G             C         C G C Am
He's mad as he can be, but Margaret only sees that sometimes,

          Dm                  G               C       
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes. 



       Dm        G            C      G  Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
          Dm         G                C    G  Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee. 
     Dm     G            C          G  Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man 
         Dm       G                   C   
And dear Margaret remembers that from me. 

C
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes, 
His cap and coat are patched with the love 
     Dm
That Margaret sewed there.
G                                 C
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam. 
   C
He watches the tug-boats down canals  
                                        Dm                   G
An' calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain. 
                                C
Till Margaret comes To take him home again 
        Dm                       G                    C              G  Am
Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm, 
             Dm          G                      C
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name. 

       Dm        G            C      G  Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
          Dm         G                C    G  Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee. 
     Dm     G            C          G  Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man 
         Dm       G                   C   
And dear Margaret remembers that from me. 

        C
Ohh the windmills swirl the winter wind
She winds his muffler tighter 
         Dm 
they sit in the kitchen.
G                            C
And a tea with whiskey keeps away the dew. 
He sees her for a moment, calls her name,
                             Dm                  G
She makes the bed up singing some old love song, 
                                 C
She learned it when the tune was very new 
          Dm                G                   C      G  Am
He hums a line or two, they hum together in the night.
             Dm               G                  C
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out. 


       Dm        G            C      G  Am
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
          Dm         G                C    G  Am
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee. 
     Dm     G            C          G  Am
Long ago, I used to be a young man 
         Dm       G                   C   
And dear Margaret remembers that from me.
