Thread Name: Tune Req: Red Rose Cafe
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Red Rose Cafe
The Song is sung at German clubs by some performers that know it - and it's in German "the Little Cafe" it translates to. I know the tune, but can't make midi. Hmm, I could tell you the notes which go with the words (but you'd have to KNOW the tune already).

If c is capitalized, it means the lower C note. Now, if the format doesn't get ruined, each syllable of the words should have a note under it.
