"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
Em C D X4 ------------------------- 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
