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!

Tuning: Standard
These are just the raw chords for this song. It's up to you to figure out the strumming pattern and shapes/positions of the chords that are used.
Intro G wait-wait-wait- BmEm before you go i want you to know AmDG all that you were and the sound that you made when you moved BmEm before you leave i need you to see AmDAm all that you mean, you would hardly believe it (bass build-up on G)
Verse 1 GEm sitting in the kitchen wondering how it is i'll tell you this AmC when the phone rings, so i start right in then: GEm we are shells or instruments, inside there's sound that speaks to us AmD if you listen, and i've been listening
Chorus 1 GEm and i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit FC but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got GEm sorry to confuse you with some foolish thing that misses truth FC but maybe that's all we are, around a brightly dying star
Verse 2 GEm these spiralled shells so sexual, could out-reveal the texts AmC we dwell upon, or maybe not, but certainly GEm a sound that's free can open me and easily AmD just rip my heart out, and start me shouting:
Interlude 1 (played on piano) GC#mDD#mEmEm7CCm this is how i feel... (repeat)
Chorus 2 GEm i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit FC but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got GEm sorry to abuse you with this ruthlessly sadistic music FC but maybe that's all i want (i'm just a really pretentious guy)
Interlude 2 G but wait! wait! wait! wait! wait! wait! BmEm before you go, i want you to know AmDG all that you were, and the sound that you made when you moved BmEm before you leave, i need you to see am D (start making it funky!) all that you mean, you would hardly believe it AmD you would hardly believe it, you would hardly believe it... AmD if i could just speak it, you would hardly believe it... D you would hardly believe
Outro (piano again) GC#mDD#mEmEm7CCm but this is how i feel...
