Working Mans Cafe by Ray Davies

Chords with lyrics

Looking for the working man's cafe
                Chord diagramD MajorD
In the shopping center of the town
             Chord diagramB minorBm
Looking for somewhere to fit in
       Chord diagramE7E7
In among the retail outfits
Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
Bought a pair of new designer pants
                    Chord diagramD MajorD
Where the fruit and vedge-man used to stand
                 Chord diagramB minorBm
I always used to see him there
       Chord diagramE MajorE
Selling old apples and pears
Chord diagramD MajorD
Chatting up the pretty girls
   Chord diagramA augmentedA      /A  /b /c# Chord diagramD MajorD  A/c#
With knocked off goods in the van
Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramA augmentedA  /c#
Don't you know
Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G  /f#
He was a working man

Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramA augmentedA /c#
Long ago
Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G  /f#
He was a working man
    Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramG+G
And we sat in the working man's cafe
          Chord diagramD MajorD
The working man's cafe

Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramDMaj9Dmaj9
Everything around me seems unreal
               Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramE minorEm
Everywhere I go it looks and feels
    Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Like America
Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramDMaj9Dmaj9
You've really come a long way down this road
                 Chord diagramE minor 7Em7
Approving our surroundings as we go
Changing our roots and culture
Chord diagramE minor 7Em7      Chord diagramA augmentedA
But don't you know

Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramA augmentedA /c#
Long ago
Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G   /f#
There was a working man
Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramA augmentedA /c#
Don't you know
Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G   /f#
We were all working men
     Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramG+G
And we'd sit and pass the time of day
           Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramA augmentedA
At the working man's cafe

Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
I thought I knew you then, but will I know you now
    Chord diagramA augmentedA
There's got to be a place for us to meet,
      Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
I call you when I've found it
Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
I only hope that life has made us a little more grounded
      Chord diagramE MajorE       /g#/A /b
Hey man, I see you now!

Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramA augmentedA
O o o
Chord diagramD MajorD      /f#   Chord diagramG+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
Chord diagramD MajorD
I'm the kid with the greasy spoon
Chord diagramA augmentedA    /A /b /c# Chord diagramD MajorD  A/c#
Firmly held in my hand

Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramA augmentedA
Don't you know
Chord diagramD MajorD    /f#   Chord diagramG+G   /f#
I was a working man
Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Long ago
Chord diagramD MajorD      /f#   Chord diagramG+G   /f#
We were all working men
    Chord diagramE minorEm             Chord diagramG+G
And we sat and spent the time of day
           Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramA augmentedA
At the working man's cafe
    Chord diagramG+G
Yeah
    Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramD MajorD
At the working man's cafe
