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
