Piano intro
Em D repeatedly
Em D Cmaj7 D Old lady with a barrow; life near ending Em D Cmaj7 D Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending Am D children on the cold sea swell --- F G D not fishers of men --- Am D G Em gone to chase away the last herring: Am G D come empty home again. F G So come all you lovers of the good life F G D on your supermarket run --- F G Set a sail of your own devising C G D and be there when the Dutchman comes, Am G D B you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.
Em D...
Em D Cmaj7 D Wee girl in a straw hat: from far east warring Em D Cmaj7 D Sad cargo of an old ship: young bodies whoring Am D Slow ocean hobo --- F G D ports closed to her crew Am D G Em No hope of immigration --- Am G D keep on passing through. F G So come all you lovers of the good life F G D your children playing in the sun --- F G Set a sympathetic flag a-flying C G D and be there when the Dutchman comes, Am G D B you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.

Em D Cmaj7 D Death grinning like a scarecrow --- Flying Dutchman Em D Cmaj7 D Seagull pilots flown from nowhere --- try and touch one Am D as she slips in on the full tide F G D and the harbour-master yells Am D G Em All hands vanished with the captain --- Am G D no one left, the tale to tell. F G So come all you lovers of the good life F G D Look around you, can you see? F G Staring ghostly in the mirror --- C G D it's the Dutchman you will be Am G D ..floating slowly out to sea C in a misty misery.
Em D repeatedly
