Furey Brothers, Red Rose Cafe (1987)
Key: :[A#m] (w: Don Black, P. Kurtner)

VERSE 1:
They [A#m] come from the farms and the factories too
And they all soon forget who they [F] are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the [A#m] bar

VERSE 2:
The girl with green eyes and the rolling stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the [D#m] land
The man at the end is a [A#m] very good friend
Of a [F] man who sells cars second [A#] hand

CHORUS:
[N.C.] Down at the [A#] red rose cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside Amster-[F]-dam
Everyone [D#] shares in the songs and the [A#] laughter
Everyone [F] there is so happy to be [A#] there

VERSE 3:
The [A#m] salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to speak about [F] trade
The poet won't write any verses tonight
But he may sing a sweet seren-[A#m]-ade

VERSE 4:
So pull up a chair and forget about life
It's a good thing to do now and [D#m] then
And if you like it here [A#m] I have an idea
To-[F]-morrow lets all meet a-[A#]-gain

REPEAT CHORUS: [2 Times, 2nd time N.C.]

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+1] [Bm]

CHORUS:
[N.C.] Down at the [B] red rose cafe in the harbour
There by the port just outside Amster-[F#]-dam
Everyone [E] shares in the songs and the [B] laughter
Everyone [F#] there is so happy to be [B] there
