[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
They cAmome from the farms and the factories too,
And they all soon forget who they Eare
The Ecares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the Ambar
The Amgirl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the lDmand
The Dmman at the end is a Amvery good friend
                              E       A  A*
Of a man who sells cars second hand
[Chorus]
Down at the ARed Rose Cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside AmsterdEam
Everyone sDhares in the songs and the Alaughter
Everyone Ethere is so happy to be Amthere
[Verse 2]
The sAmalesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to speak about Etrade
The Epoet won't write any verses tonight
He may sing a sweet serenAmade
So Ampull up a chair and forget about life
It's a good thing to do now and tDmhen
And if yDmou like it here I Amhave an idea
                        E       A  A*
Tomorrow let's all meet again
[Chorus]
Down at the ARed Rose Cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside AmsterdEam
Everyone Dshares in the songs and the Alaughter
Everyone Ethere is so happy to be Athere
Down at the ARed Rose Cafe in the harbour

[Verse 1]

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 at a stool by the bar

The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt

Doesn't look like she works on the land

Dm Am

The man at the end is a very good friend

Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the harbour

There by the port just outside Amsterdam

Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter

E Am

Everyone there is so happy to be there

[Verse 2]

The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer

And they try not to speak about trade

The poet won't write any verses tonight

He may sing a sweet serenade

So pull up a chair and forget about life

It's a good thing to do now and then

Dm Am

And if you like it here I have an idea

Tomorrow let's all meet again
