Intro: G5  D5  C5  G5

Verse 1:
                          G5      D5
Well, the cars are leaving town
    C5               G5
The winter's moving in
                G5         D5
A tree has been torn down
      C5                G5
By an ill wind, an ill wind
                 G5      D5
Oh, Rosie can you tell
   C5                G5
My age from where I sit?
                  G5      D5
I'm younger than I look
    C5                      G5
But old enough to know the half of it


Chorus:
C5    D5      G5                  D5
  Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
C5    D5      G5                  D5
  Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
          E5        D5
You could still fly south 
       E5            D5
Before they find you out
  G5
Rosie 


Verse 2:

Well, you've got needles in your eyes
From all those glances that you stole
Any secret that's worth keeping
Will always burn a hole
Oh, I saw you over coffee
Four sugars and some cream
You were smiling quietly 
Holding your face over the steam

[chorus]

               A5         F5          G5
And anyone who calls your bluff will learn
                      A5       F5       C5
That you don't need a match to get your fingers burned

Interlude: G5  D5  C5  G5 (2x)

Verse 3:

Well, it's a wild December night 
And you have packed your bags and gone
And you haven't old a soul 
Which plane that you got on
And you left behind your letters
Your hairbrush and your red shoes
You left behind your name and
A little boy who looks like you

[chorus]
   G5  D5  C5  D5

   G5  D5  C5  D5
Rosie
   G5  D5  C5  D5
Rosie

Outro: G5  D5  C5  D5
