Am  F  C  G  
Am  F  C  G  
Am  F  C  G  

Am                     F  
In Port d'Amsterdam,  
         C                   G  
There's a sailor who sings,  
         Am                  F  
Of the dreams that he brings,  
         C             G  
From the sea,  
         Am                 F  
With the winds in his hair,  
       C                   G  
And the salt in his tears,  
          Am                   F  
He'll tell you the tales,  
          C         G  
Of the stormy years.  

Am                 F  
In Port d'Amsterdam,  
         C                   G  
Where the night is so dark,  
         Am                     F  
And the souls of the drowned,  
         C             G  
Leave a mark.  
         Am                F  
With the stars in the sky,  
         C                   G  
And the waves crashing down,  
         Am                     F  
He'll sing to the moon,  
         C             G  
Of the love that he's found.  

Am                  F  
In Port d'Amsterdam,  
       C                 G  
Where the heartaches begin,  
         Am                  F  
And the stories of love,  
         C              G  
Are whispered within.  
         Am                F  
He'll dance with the shadows,  
         C               G  
And he'll laugh with the night,  
         Am                   F  
For in Port d'Amsterdam,  
         C                G  
The dreams feel so right.
