It's a song called the China Cafe.
Someone let the ivy die

And [E] old B-23 ain't [A] on the jukebox [D] anymore
[Bm] [G] Mr.
Lee [Bm] is [G] dead
[C] But Bimdi, our light, [G] keeps shining
And [E] it's business as [G] usual [B] [D] at the [F#] China [G] Cafe
Those folks were friends of mine
[E] We could [G] visit [C] any time
[E] Mrs.
Lee would always [A] set another place for [D] me
I remember [G] the tricks we played
