Berikut lirik dan chord lagu “Amsterdam” yang dinyanyikan oleh John Denver:

       Am                           G

In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sings

       F                              E

of the dreams that he brings from the wide open seas.

       Am                           G

In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sleeps

          F         E                 Am

while the riverbank weeps through the old willow trees.

       C                            G

In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who dies

        Am                       E

full of beer, full of cries in a drunken down fight.

       F                          Em

In the port of Amsterdam, there a sailor who's born

     F         E            Am

on a muggy hot morn, by the dawn's early light.

       Am                           G

In the port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet,

          F                    E

there's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails.

        Am                           G

He will show you his teeth that have rotted too soon

         F           E              Am

that can swallow the moon, that can haul up the sail.

       C                          G

And he yells to the cook with his arms open wide, 

Am                         E

bring me more fish, put it down by my side.

       F                           Em

And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try

      F              E              Am

so he gets up and he laughs, and he zips up his fly.

       Am                         G

In the port of Amsterdam, you can see sailors dance,

         F                              E

haunches bursting their pants, grinding women to paunch.

           Am                         G

They've forgotten the tune that their whisky voice croaked,

            F            E              Am

and they're spitting the night with the roar of their jokes.

         C                             G

And they turn and they dance, and they laugh and they lust

       Am                    E

to the rancid sound of the accordion's burst.

          F                             Em

then it's out into the night with their pride in their pants

      F              E        Am

and a slut that they tow underneath the street lamps.

       Am                           G

In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who drinks.

       F                             E

and he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again.

   Am                          G

He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam

         F              E         Am

who have promised their love to a thousand other men.

         C                              G

And they bargain their bodies and their virtue, long gone,

      Am                        E

for a few dirty coins, and when he can't go on,

              F                      Em

he plants his nose in the sky and we wipes it up above

        F             E          Am

then he splits like I cry for an unfaithful love,

       Em                        Am                        Em

in the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam.
