Hey Rosetta! was a Canadian seven-piece indie rock band from the northeastern province of Newfoundland and led by singer and songwriter Tim Baker. The band announced in October 2017 that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus
In 2005, frontman Baker arrived home from a road trip with a suitcase full of poems and melodies. Hey Rosetta! was formed soon after with the addition of a string section (cellist Romesh Thavanathan and violinist Kinley Dowling) and rhythm section (bassist Josh Ward, drummer Phil Maloney, and guitarist Adam Hogan).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I love this song, and i'm almost 100% sure this is right. Comments and corrections welcome.
CBdim7 the rain starts off and it wakes you up EAmCF you can't sleep with that racket on the roof CBdim7 you get up slow but you can't get going EAmCF it seems this morning the lowness has won CGE did you stop to see? mediocrity and your self pity, AmCF they were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny CG did you notice that happiness EAmCF happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding CG you say, "it's not my fault that i get so low EAm there's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down, CF it's pulling me down, i swear it"
AmGCF so come on by my house and unleash me your monsters AmGCF with you at the healm we'll go crashing around together AmGCF and don't mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary AmGCF cause baby this is love, i'll come down to hell to keep you company
AmFCG of all the days we've got we should be screaming out... AmFCG of all the days we've got we should be screaming out... AmFCG of all the days we've got we should be singing...
CGAmF x2 (For this whole section you can use G's instead of F's wherever you want)
CGAm what's to be done? one hundred and one FC in a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows GAm in innocent ribs, we're minding our business FC we're just minding our business instead of minding our minds GAm in times when the storms will ravage your clothes, FC the sound and the colour could render you blind GAm and the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep FC then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour GAm but heaven is there, under your hair, FC it hides in the noon noise way up in the air GAm like a bird on the breeze FC waiting for you and maybe me too
CGAmF x2
CGAm whats there to do? one hundred and two FC are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back GAm they're wanting in, they're humming our hymn F everybodys singing like beautiful birds... CGAmF everybodys singing like beautiful birds... CGAmF everybodys singing like beautiful birds... CGAmF in the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too CGAmF sing: i know what i want CGAmF i know what i need
cause it's the simplest thing...
CGAmF x2
(stop subbing G's for F's)
AmFCG of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out... AmFCG of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out... AmFCG of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house
CG if i could cheer you up it would mean so much, EAmGF clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off CG you say, "its not my fault that i get so low EAmC but to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love, F it's a fucking sick way to love"
