[Intro]
Am
 
[Verse 1]
      Am
They come from the farms and the factories too,
                                  E
And they all soon forget who they are
    E
The cares of today are soon washed away
                              Am
As they sit at a stool by the bar
    Am
The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
                                    Dm
Doesn't look like she works on the land
    Dm                  Am
The man at the end is a very good friend
     E                         A     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
    E
The poet won't write any verses tonight
                         Am
He may sing a sweet serenade
   Am
So pull up a chair and forget about life
                                 Dm
It's a good thing to do now and then
        Dm                Am
And if you like it here I have an idea
  E                      A     A*
Tomorrow let's 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
 
            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    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
 
            Bb
Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the harbour
                                      F
There by the port just outside Amsterdam
