Chords with lyrics
Looking for the working man's cafe
D MajorD
In the shopping center of the town
B minorBm
Looking for somewhere to fit in
E7E7
In among the retail outfits
A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7
Bought a pair of new designer pants
D MajorD
Where the fruit and vedge-man used to stand
B minorBm
I always used to see him there
E MajorE
Selling old apples and pears
D MajorD
Chatting up the pretty girls
A augmentedA /A /b /c# D MajorD A/c#
With knocked off goods in the van
E minorEm A augmentedA /c#
Don't you know
D MajorD G+G /f#
He was a working man
E minorEm A augmentedA /c#
Long ago
D MajorD G+G /f#
He was a working man
E minorEm G+G
And we sat in the working man's cafe
D MajorD
The working man's cafe
D MajorD DMaj9Dmaj9
Everything around me seems unreal
G+G E minorEm
Everywhere I go it looks and feels
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
Like America
D MajorD DMaj9Dmaj9
You've really come a long way down this road
E minor 7Em7
Approving our surroundings as we go
Changing our roots and culture
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
But don't you know
E minorEm A augmentedA /c#
Long ago
D MajorD G+G /f#
There was a working man
E minorEm A augmentedA /c#
Don't you know
D MajorD G+G /f#
We were all working men
E minorEm G+G
And we'd sit and pass the time of day
D MajorD A augmentedA
At the working man's cafe
A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7
I thought I knew you then, but will I know you now
A augmentedA
There's got to be a place for us to meet,
Amaj7Amaj7
I call you when I've found it
D MajorD A augmentedA
I only hope that life has made us a little more grounded
E MajorE /g#/A /b
Hey man, I see you now!
G+G A augmentedA
O o o
D MajorD /f# G+G
We were all working men
E/g# /A E7/b
And here we are at the working man's cafe
(same chord as on 1st verse)
It's really good to see us come so far
But haven't we forgotten who we are
Taking out a larger loan
Equity relief and mortgages
We all seem to pass the time of day
Online on the internet cafe
And if you you forget my face
In case you've forgotten just who I am
D MajorD
I'm the kid with the greasy spoon
A augmentedA /A /b /c# D MajorD A/c#
Firmly held in my hand
E minorEm A augmentedA
Don't you know
D MajorD /f# G+G /f#
I was a working man
E minorEm A augmentedA
Long ago
D MajorD /f# G+G /f#
We were all working men
E minorEm G+G
And we sat and spent the time of day
D MajorD A augmentedA
At the working man's cafe
G+G
Yeah
A augmentedA D MajorD
At the working man's cafe
