A5
They come from the farms and the factories too,
                                   E5
And they all soon forget who they are

The cares of today are soon washed away
                               A5   
As they sit on a stool by the bar

The girl with green eyes in the rolling stones shirt
                                    D5
Doesn't look like she works on the land
                         A5
The man at the end is a very good friend
     E5                          A5
Of a man who sells cars second hand

[Chorus]
A5
Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
                                      E5
There by the port just outside Amsterdam
           D5                           A5
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter
           E5                      A5
Everyone there is so happy to be there
 

 
[Repeat chorus]
 
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to talk about trade
The poet wont write any verses tonight
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]
