Popular Dutch song translated in many languages
The English title Translation should have been The Red Rose cosy Pub.   Also performed by Andre Rieu

6 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -7 -7
They come from the farms and the factories too
7 -6 6 6 6 6 7 -6 6 
and they all soon forget who they are
6 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7 b7 b7 b7 b7
the cares of the day are soon washed away
b7 -6 6 6 6 6 7 -6 6
as they sit on a stool by the bar
6 8 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -7 -7 -7
the girl with the green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
7 -6 6 6 6 6 -7 6 -6
doesn't look like she works on the land
-6 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 6 6 6 6 
the man at the end he's a very good friend
7 -6 6 6 6 6 -6 -7 7 7
of a man who sells cars second-hand
Chorus
5 6 7 8 8 7 6 6 -6 6 6 
Down at the Red Rose cafe by the harbour
6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 -9 8 6
everyone shares in the songs and the laughter
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 -7 7
everyone there is happy to be there
