Looking for the working man's cafe in the shopping centre of the town

Bought a pair of new designer pants where the fruit and veg man used to stand

Chatting up the pretty girls, with knocked off goods in the van

You've really come a long way down this road, approving our surroundings as we go
             Dm                     Gsus4     G
Changing our roots and culture, but don't you know

Long ago, there was a working man
Dm        G     C                   F  F/E
Don't you know, we were all working men
         Dm                       F
And we'd sit and pass the time of day
                       C       G
At the working man's cafe

G                                     D
I thought I knew you then, but will I know you now
        G
There's got to be a place for us to meet,
           D
I call you when I've found it
C                                   G
I only hope that life has made us a little more grounded
           D             
Hey man, I see you now!
F  G   C                   F  F/E

It's really good to see us come so far, but haven't we forgotten who we are
                          Am       D 
Taking out a larger loan, equity relief and mortgages

We all seem to pass the time of day, online at the internet cafe
                              Am                    D
And if you forget my face, in case you've forgotten just who I am
C                                  G                 C   C/B
I'm the kid with the greasy spoon, firmly held in my hand

Long ago, we were all working men 
       Dm                        F

At the working man's cafe
