Intro (bassline)       
Em            C               D               G
Laat me je de stad tonen, waarvan ik ben gaan houden
      Em          A              A/C#       D
Zwier mee over 't Weena, met z'n hoge flatgebouwen
C                  G           B      B7/D# Em
Zie je daar aan 't einde al 't prachtige Hofplein
    Em/G              G/B             C           D
Als Feyenoord heeft gewonnen, duik je zo in de fontein
    Em                    C                D           G
Van hier naar rechts, dan kom je langs het statige stadhuis
   Em             A                    A/C#          D
En dit hier is de Meent, de straat die de Coolsingel kruist
        C              G              B     B7/D#  Em
Geef je geld uit in de Koopgoot, daar issie voor gegraven
   Em/G            G/B              C            D
En loop wat verder door, dan kom je bij de Leuvenhaven
   B/D#             Em              D/F#        G
En daar staat Rotterdam dan door de ogen van Zadkine
   Am         G/B        C        A/C# D              G
De stad raast door, maar jij bent even stil om het te zien
           C            G                Em          D
Schei toch uit over die moffen, hou toch op over die bommen
      C               G               A       A/C#   D
Rotterdam stad zonder hart, mijn hart ligt er wel verdomme
        C             G           B        B7/D#      Em
Wat een ander ook mag zeggen, die slaat de plank maar mis
      C               D              G
Rotterdam, de mooiste rotstad die er is
Em            C               D               G
Zie je daar de Willemsbrug, daar verderop de Zwaan
      Em          A              A/C#       D
De twee gevaartes kijken ons vanuit de hoogte aan
C                  G           B      B7/D# Em
Altijd vol zijn de terrassen, die bij de Oude Haven horen
  Em/G              G/B             C           D
En trots staat daat dat Witte Huis, die vriendelijke toren
   Em                    C                D           G
De Blaak is op een marktdag vol handen uit de mouwen
  Em             A                    A/C#          D
En wordt omringt door Rotterdam's merkwaardigste gebouwen
        C              G              B     B7/D#  Em
Vooruit naar de Oostzeedijk toe, daar is het goed toeven
   Em/G            G/B              C            D
Daar kan je nog de sfeer van het studentenleven proeven
  B/D#             Em              D/F#        G
En Kralingen, oh Kralingen, zijn villa's en zijn plas
   Am         G/B        C        A/C# D              G
Ja Kralingen zal altijd toch wel blijven hoe het was
           C            G                Em          D
Schei toch uit over die moffen, hou toch op over die bommen
      C               G               A       A/C#   D
Rotterdam stad zonder hart, mijn hart ligt er wel verdomme
        C             G           B        B7/D#      Em
Wat een ander ook mag zeggen, die slaat de plank maar mis
      C               D              G
Rotterdam, de mooiste rotstad die er is
      C               G              Em            D
Rotterdam, geen flauwekulstad. Rotterdam de geen gelul stad
      C               G              A     A/C#       D
Rotterdam stad zonder franje, zonder goud, zonder champagne
    C            G                B       B7/D#   Em
Benelux en Brienenoordstad, Rotterdam dat is mijn moordstad
       Em/G        G/B            C                 D
Al die havens en fabrieken en die stinklucht uit Pernis
      Em           C            D              G
Maken Rotterdam de allermooiste rotstad die er is
      Em           C            D              G
Maken Rotterdam de allermooiste rotstad die er is
