Kuning Café, with the / yellow dogs there
Em Am
hanging about in the / warm night air
B Am
a place where I once / used to go
Em Am Em B Em
but / now, / oh no, / no way, / no Am Em B Em
It became too rough, I / want to be
in a quiet place, with a / quiet cup of tea
no noise, except the / chessboard click
where / I can let / time go by, / hear the clock / tick
That’s why, in a half-lit rear room, I / take my time
watching the garden birds, the / bamboo high climb
enjoying a pot of / Oolong tea
the breeze, the / keyboard, the / poetry / chatting with / me
high B Em
Membranophone mayhem / in my brain
thinking of this, of / that again
Am Em
thinking, too, of a / woman’s touch
Am Em
but maybe, oh maybe, I / think too much
Am Em B Em
but maybe, oh / maybe, I / think too / much
B high Am Em B Em
Kuning / Café / isn’t the / place for / me
B high Am Em B Em
Am Em
Go away, go away, go // away, go away,
Am Em
go away, get out of the / Kuning Café
Am Em
rough place now, the / Kuning Café
Am Em
oh, oh
B high Am Em
many years back, I used to / hang out / here
B high Am Em
enjoying a quiet / pre-night / beer
Am Em B Em
but now, I’m / out of the / Kuning / Café
Am Em B Em
oh yeah, oh yeah
