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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+1] [Am]

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