               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
