Intro:
G A G A
If you want to get technical on intro it is
arpeggios starting from the 3rd of the chord
over bass root note. The melody then goes up to C# which
resolves conveniently to D chord in Verse
In verse G A G A is the same but the arpeggios
are from the root
 
Verse 1
D    B       G                   Bdim    A   G
Rose Robert, I'd like to welcome you to our affair
Adim6                                   G       A
We'll write a lovely little story, just you and I
F#           G                     G A G A
As time goes by me and my Rose Robert
 
Verse 2
People stare when we walk arm in arm along the thoroughfare
The gentlemen don't know whether to bow their heads
Or tip their hats instead at me and Rose Robert
 
 
Dm                      Bb             Edim
All of our days move so slow since we stopped
  C#dim     F
And let the world go on without us
F             Ab            Fm     C
We haven't got a care, me and Rose Robert

You're delightful, mon cheri, it's so lovely

When we wear each others clothes

You draw on your mustache while I powder my nose

Verse 3  - No key change same as 1 and 2
D    B       G                   Bdim    A       G
Rose Robert, together we make quite a remarkable pair
It doesn't seem strange somehow that we never speak
We just gurgle and squeak, me and my Rose Robert
Few will dare to offer any pleasantries or see how we fare
I guess they assume that we have lost our wits
But we're just a couple of misfits, me and my Rose Robert Rose Robert, hot chocolate clair
