(same chords in all three verses)
Intro: G D C G
Verse 1:
G D
Well, the cars are leaving town
C G
The winter's moving in
G D
A tree has been torn down
C G
By an ill wind, an ill wind
G D
Oh, Rosie can you tell
C G
My age from where I sit?
G D
I'm younger than I look
C G
But old enough to know the half of it
Chorus:
C D G D
Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
C D G D
Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
Em D7
You could still fly south
Em D7
Before they find you out
G
Rosie
Verse 2:
Well, you've got needles in your eyes
From all those glances that you stole
Any secret that's worth keeping
Will always burn a hole
Oh, I saw you over coffee
Four sugars and some cream
You were smiling quietly
Holding your face over the steam
[chorus]
Am F G
And anyone who calls your bluff will learn
Am F C
That you don't need a match to get your fingers burned
Interlude: G D C G (2x)
Verse 3:
Well, it's a wild December night
And you have packed your bags and gone
And you haven't old a soul
Which plane that you got on
And you left behind your letters
Your hairbrush and your red shoes
You left behind your name and
A little boy who looks like you
[chorus]
