GD No, no, no, no, no, please say it isn’t so G Say it isn’t me your taking to that cell below G7CAm God what have I done? Why I’d have to fire that gun GD7G Tell her one last thing before I go
G Get Rosetta on the phone, D7 Tell her I’m not coming home for a long, long time See I had a drink or two when she told me we were through G Then I guess I lost my mind CD7BmE I shot him down, I couldn’t bare to let him take your love away AmD7 Just get Rosetta on the phone, AmD7CGAmG Tell her I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today
I know we cannot be, but if I were only free I’d prove to my Rosetta there’s no better man than me Now I cannot sleep at night cause I took a good man’s life And left the one I love in misery
Get Rosetta on the phone, She’ll be sitting all alone where the roses (?) And will tell that little girl, if I could I’d give the world To turn back the hands of time And if she said she really loved me then I gladly stand away Get Rosetta on the phone, Say I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today
