[Verse]
G C G
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
G C G
There ain't nothing I can take to kill this pain
C
Set me free
G
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
G C G
She is a dream, but she's so hard to please
G C G
She moves around like an Egyptian queen
C
Set me free
G
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
[Chorus]
Am Em
I'm so afraid of losing you
Am C D
But there's only so much that a man can do
G
For Rosa Lee
C G
Why don't you set me free?
[Verse]
G C G
When I hit the road the time goes slow
G C G
Think about the places I used to go
C
With Rosa Lee
G
Why don't you set me free?
G C G
They're trying to close the Tu Y Yo
G C G
The Latin playboy and the sky room shows
C
Rosa Lee
G
Why don't they let them be?
[Chorus]
Am Em
I can't get used to losing you
Em Am C D
But there's only so much that a man can do
G
For Rosa Lee
C G
Why don't you set me free?
[Bridge]
Em D
People say that you were made for me
Am C G
I nod my head, they think that I agree
Em D
But they'll never know the hurt it takes
Am C D G
To be with Rosa Lee
[Verse]
G C G
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
G C G
But I never thought I'd wear a ball and chain
C
Set me free
G
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
[Outro]
C
Set me free
G
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
C
Why don't you set me free
G
Why don't you Rosa Lee, yeah
C G
Why don't you set free, why don't you set free
C
You got to set me free
G C G C
You got to, you got to set, baby, ah, yeah, ooh
