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

The cares of today are soon washed away
                  E7          Am   
As they sit on a stool by the bar.

The girl with green eyes in the rolling stones shirt
                                    Dm
Doesn't look like she works on the land
                         Am
The man at the end is a very good friend
     E              E7         A
Of a man who sells cars second hand

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

[Repeat chorus]

     Am 
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer,
                                 E
and they try not to talk about trade.

The poet won't write any verses tonight
              E7         Am
he may sing a sweet serenade.
                                     
So pull up a chair and forget about life,
                                 Dm
it's a good thing to do now and then.
                            Am
And if you like it here, I have an idea,
   E          E7         Am
Tomorrow lets all meet again.
