They[Am] come from the farms and the factories too,
And they all soon forget[E] who they are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool[Am] by the bar
The girl with green eyes and the rolling stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the[Dm] land
The man at the[Am] end is a very good friend
Of a[E] man who sells secon[A]dhand cars
[Chorus]
[A]Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside Am[E]sterdam
Everyone[D] shares in the songs and the[A] laughter
Everyone[E] there is so happy to be[Am] there
The grey haired old man , the piano will play
Any song that you wanted to hear
That pritty young thing doesn't know how to sing
But the customers give her a cheer
Now outside in the real world the race is still on
It's all gone a little bit mad
In circles we go and it's good to know
Of the place where good times are had
[Repeat chorus]
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to talk about life
The poet wont write any verses tonight
But he may sing a sweet sernade
So pull up a chair and forget about life
It's a good thing to do now and then
And if you like it here I have an idea
Tomorrow lets all meet again
[Repeat chorus twice]
