(verse 1)
C5     C5   A5        F5      G5       C5
mother of disaster and sister of our fate
   C5               F5         G5
do you recall the tragedy we see
C5      C5   A5         F5       G5   A5
father of confusion and brother of debate
   F5              G5             C5
do you recall the sister of rosemary

    F5                G5
The doodlebugs were flying
    C5        C5     A5
the blitz was at its high
F5               C5              A5          G5
rosemary lay sleeping with her sister inly five
     C5     C5       A5
and no one heard the One that hit
     F5        G5       A5
the one that blew the lid
 F5                   C5            F5      G5     C5
rosemary came out crying and her sister never did

(pre chorus)

         C5   A5            G5                 C5
And you fly high and your dreams are all in vain
     A5             C5              F5               G5
one moment you are singing and the next you cry in pain

(chorus)
    C5       C5     A5
And high above the heavens
     F5        G5     A5
on a host of angels wings
C5         F5               G5    C5
rosemarys sister will be dancing

(verse 2)
    C5       C5   A5              F5     G5      C5
her mother cried all that year as many others did
      C5               F5               G5
she pulled thru for a moment now and then
         C5       C5    A5                   F5         G5     A5
and the people down in bethnal street in the rubble of the storm
      F5                  G5           C5
swept up their lives and started on again

      F5          G5          C5       C5     A5
when tyranny is biting you do your best to try
    F5             C5                   A5            G5
to stifle all the heart ache till its safe again to cry
     C5      C5      A5                      F5          G5      A5
and when at last the darkness clears and the sun comes shining thru
      F5               G5              C5
we'll dust it off and start in on a' new

(pre chorus)

         C5   A5            G5                 C5
And you fly high and your dreams are all in vain
     A5             C5              F5               G5
one moment you are singing and the next you cry in pain

(chorus)
    C5       C5     A5
And high above the heavens
     F5        G5     A5
on a host of angels wings
C5         F5               G5    C5
rosemarys sister will be dancing

(verse 3)

           C5      C5     A5
theres a teacher in the classroom
        F5       G5      C5
theres mothers in the hall
C5                F5                      G5
children sit and wait for the bell for home
C5     C5    A5             F5         G5      A5
rosemary is waiting she's a child now of her own
       F5            G5                  C5
she's waiting to collect and take her home

      F5               G5              C5         C5       A5
But sometimes in the silence in the firelight where she sits
     F5                 C5                      A5              G5
her mind goes back to bethnal street to the darkenss and the blitz
          C5        C5          A5
and she knows if theres another one
         F5        B5      A5      PAUSE
then the end will be complete
   F5                 G5              C5
i wonder what theyd say in bethnal street

(pre chorus)

         C5   A5            G5                 C5
And you fly high and your dreams are all in vain
     A5             C5              F5               G5
one moment you are singing and the next you cry in pain

(chorus)

    C5       C5     A5
And high above the heavens
     F5        G5     A5
on a host of angels wings
C5         F5               G5    C5
rosemarys sister will be dancing
