VERSE 1
********
"EmWatch for the sailor," say frightened old ladies
He's Amterrorizing the town
DHandsome and sprightly though he's nearly ninety
He's Emnever slowing down
The language he'll use when he's been on the booze
The Amstories he'd tell, well, they'd never choose to Dlisten
But sometimes they glance at their husbands and Emsigh
For an Dold salt sea-dog who Cwinks and Dgives them the Emeye C D Em C D
-------------------------
VERSE 2
********
When Emwe were in dock
We'd Cflock where the Dwhores go in EmRotterdam C D
In Emold navy blue
We'd Cdrink to a Dnew love with Emevery dram C D
And the Cblousy hostesses in Dshort frilly dresses
The B7young and oldEm___
They'd Amseen it before, in Dpeace and in war
They'd been Embought and sold
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
And the Ambars never close
Till they've Dtaken your money for Grotgut DboozeEm
And your Chead hits the ground
And the Dworld's spinning round in a Ggame you DloseEm
And you Amcry out the pain
But you Dshell out again for aGnother DglassEm
And you F#7pray that the morning will come
And the ache in your Bhead will passB7

VERSE 3
********
The Emladies display
Every Cday in the Dwindows of EmAmsterdam C D
WhatEmever your dream
You're the Ccat with the Dcream when the Emshutters slam C D
And the Cguilt that you feel when you Dfind it's not real
Is an B7old, old Emfriend
And you Amsay, "Not again, well mayDbe, now and then"
Will it Emnever end?
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
And the Ambars never close
Till they've Dtaken your money for Grotgut DboozeEm
And your Chead hits the ground
And the Dworld's spinning round in a Ggame you DloseEm
And you Amcry out the pain
But you Dshell out again for aGnother DglassEm
And you F#7pray that the morning will come
And the ache in your Bhead will passB7
Em C D X4

VERSE 4
********
My Emsalt sailor days are a Chaze
There's a Dred light to Emshow the way C D
When you're Embattered and bruised
You forCget who aDbused you, that's Emyesterday C D
CHere on the land with a Dglass in my hand
If a B7wish were minEme
I'd be Amback on a ship and I'd Dtake me a trip
To the Emgood old time
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Where the Ambars never close
Till they've Dtaken your money for Grotgut DboozeEm
And your Chead hits the ground
And the Dworld's spinning round in a Ggame you DloseEm
And you Amcry out the pain
But you Dshell out again for aGnother DglassEm
And you F#7pray that the morning will come
And the ache in your Bhead will passB7
For when Emwe were in dock
We'd Cflock where the Dwhores go in EmRotterdam, in Rotterdam, in Rotterdam
ENJOY....................
