Intro:  G7  


Verse 1:
G7                                               
Slappin' leather was devised
                     C
During a wild streak in her life
          G7
She had a cheap apartment up on royal street 
                                         C
She brought home just enough to keep her on her feet
E            C          G
She don't believe in anything
E
But if you ask her she'll say
F
There's plenty of things to believe in

Chorus:
G                                      C
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
G                                      C
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
                       G 
Sometimes you gotta be loved

Verse 2:
G7
She got a number off the bathroom wall
                                      C
She was lookin for a good time so she made the call
      G7
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
                               C  
Sneaky little priest tryin' to reach out to the swine
E                 C              G
He said "Hello my name is Father Tim
E                                     F
Seems to me your zeal for this life is wearin a little thin"

Repeat Chorus
Solo: G

E                       C            G  
Well maybe we all could use a little grace
E                              F
To know when to run or when to stay in one place

Repeat Chorus
Outro: E(7) - A(7)  
(Hammer on and off between 
E & E7 and A & A7 to end)
