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
                               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                          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


[Verse 2]
Am
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
                                   E
And they try not to speak about trade

The poet wont write any verses tonight
                         Am
he may sing a sweet sernade

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               A
Tomorrow lets all meet again


[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                      A
Everyone there is so happy to be there

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                      A    F
Everyone there is so happy to be there


[Chorus] (key change)
            Bb
Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
                                      F
There by the port just outside Amsterdam
           Eb                          Bb
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter
           F                      Bb
Everyone there is so happy to be there

(fade out)
            Bb
Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
                                      F
There by the port just outside Amsterdam
           Eb                          Bb
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter
           F                      Bb
Everyone there is so happy to be there.
