Rosie

by

Jackson Browne

 

 

E A B E A E

well, she was standing at the load in, when the trucks rolled up

 

A E A E

She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup

 

A E C#m

She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had no where to go

 

E A B E A E

So I gave her a pass so she could get in and see the show

 

E A B E A E

Well, I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer

 

A E A E

While I mixed that sound on the stage so the band could hear

 

A E C#m

 

The more I watched her watch them play, the less I thought of to say

 

E A B E A E

and when they walked offstage, the drummer swept that girl away

 

 

(chorus)

 

A E A

but Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)

 

A E A

when you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)

 

A E C#m

when you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)

 

A (let ring) A E E B A, E B A

Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie

 

 

E A E A E

Well I guess I might've known from the start, she'd come for a star

 

A E A E

Could've told my imagination not to run too far

 

A E C#m

with all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd learned

 

E A B E E A

that it's who you look like, not who you are

 

(repeat Chorus)

 

end with...

 

A E B A

Rosie Repeat and fade out
