               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
