(Verse 1)
     Am                      Bm
Now Rosie, You're losin' the spot, love; 
    C                           G
The light used to shine in your eye. 
     Am                          Bm
Now, tell me you haven't stopped dreamin' 
     C                           G  
That you still reach out for the sky 
    Am                        Bm
For this life, it's no bed of roses, 
     C                          G
It's not all it's cracked up to be 
    Am                                D
But in the end there's always you and me... 
(Chorus) 
G            D
Rosie, sweet Rosie 
G                   D
Money don't grow on trees 
         G                     D
But if I thought for just one second it did 
       G          D      G
I'd be down on my bended knee 

(Verse 2)
    Am                       Bm
Now we'll take our tea and a lemon, 
  C                          G
A match that was made in the Heaven 
    Am                     Bm
Two lovers that walk in on this town 
   C                      G
We don't need a ball or a gown.
    Am                       Bm
Now tell your dear Ma not to worry, 
    C                           G
You won't need for nothing with me 
    Am                             D
Now let the rivers run down to the sea. 
(Chorus)
G            D
Rosie, sweet Rosie, 
G                   D
Money don't grow on trees 
         G                    D
But if I thought for just one second it did 
G                 D      G
I'd be down on my bended knee 
(Bridge)
    Em         D      C
I'm down on my bended knee, 
   Em               D               G
So you'd spend your whole life with me 
   Am                Em
Until the day, it'll be okay 
       D               
You'll see, you'll see 
(Solo)

(Chorus)
(No instruments other than drums here)
Rosie, sweet Rosie, 

Money don't grow on trees 
         G                    D
But if I thought for just one second it did 
       G          D      G
I'd be down on my bended knee 
         G                    D
But if I thought for just one second it did 
       G          D      G
I'd be down on my bended knee 
             G          D      G
Yeah, I'd be down on my bended knee!
