Standard (EADGBE)

They come from the farms and the factories too,

And they all soon forget who they are

The cares of today are soon washed away

As they sit on a stool by the bar

The girl with green eyes in the rolling stones shirt

Doesn't look like she works on the land

The man at the end is a very good friend

Of a man who sells cars second hand

Chorus

Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour

There by the port just outside Amsterdam

Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter

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]
