Intro:  G5  


Verse 1:
G5                                               
Slappin' leather was devised
                     C5
During a wild streak in her life
          G5
She had a cheap apartment up on royal street 
                                         C5
She brought home just enough to keep her on her feet
E5            C5          G5
She don't believe in anything
E5
But if you ask her she'll say
F5
There's plenty of things to believe in

Chorus:
G5                                      C5
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
G5                                      C5
Sweet Rosalyn sometimes you gotta give in
                       G5 
Sometimes you gotta be loved

Verse 2:
G5
She got a number off the bathroom wall
                                      C5
She was lookin for a good time so she made the call
      G5
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
                               C5  
Sneaky little priest tryin' to reach out to the swine
E5                 C5              G5
He said "Hello my name is Father Tim
E5                                     F5
Seems to me your zeal for this life is wearin a little thin"

Repeat Chorus
Solo: G5

E5                       C5            G5  
Well maybe we all could use a little grace
E5                              F5
To know when to run or when to stay in one place

Repeat Chorus
Outro: E(7) - A(7)  
(Hammer on and off between 
E5 & E5 and A5 & A5 to end)
