               E (022100@1)                    A (x02220@1)        B (x2444x@1)          E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
well, she was standing at the load in, when the trucks rolled up

         A (x02220@1)                                         E (022100@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup

A (x02220@1)                                         E (022100@1)             C#mShe (x13321@4)wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had no where to go

      E (022100@1)                         A (x02220@1)         B (x2444x@1)     E (022100@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
So I gave her a pass so she could get in and see the show

         E (022100@1)                       A (x02220@1)       B (x2444x@1)      E (022100@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
Well, I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer

        A (x02220@1)                                             E (022100@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
While I mixed that sound on the stage so the band could hear

A (x02220@1)                                          E (022100@1)                  C#m (x13321@4)The more I watched her watch them play, the less I thought of to say

               E (022100@1)                         A (x02220@1)        B (x2444x@1)   E (022100@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
and when they walked offstage, the drummer swept that girl away


(chorus)

    A (x02220@1)         E (022100@1)                  Abut (x02220@1)Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)

     A (x02220@1)         E (022100@1)                      Awhen (x02220@1)you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)

      A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)                         C#mwhen (x13321@4)you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)

A (x02220@1)(let ring)                             A (x02220@1)E (022100@1)  E (022100@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B A, E (022100@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B ALooks (x02220@1)like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie


        E (022100@1)                            A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)EWell (022100@1)I guess I might've known from the start, she'd come for a star

         A (x02220@1)                                E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
Could've told my imagination not to run too far

A (x02220@1)                                          E (022100@1)                  C#mwith (x13321@4)all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd  learned

          E (022100@1)               A (x02220@1)  B (x2444x@1)     E (022100@1)  E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A
