(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
