[Ab]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] Rosie
[F] crossed [Eb] the Rio Grande [Fm]
[Ab] [Ab] In the middle of [Eb] the night she [F] swam
[Ab] [G] With all she could carry In a [Cm] plane called SAC
[Fm]
Heading [Eb] for the promised [Ab] land Never [Eb] coming back
[Fm] Friends and family [Eb] stayed [F] behind [Ab] The [Bb] hollow crops at [Eb] harvest [Fm] time
[Ab]
Oh, they [Gm] think about Rosie [G] And [Cm] all those nights
[Fm] [Gm] She's been thinking [Bb] of her city [Eb] lights
[Cm] City [Fm] lights shining [Bb] bright [Fm]
[Bb] Spreading out like Christmas [Eb] lights
Under California's [Ab] lights The [Gm] sun goes down
[G] And those dreams [Cm] begin to fade [Fm] But those city lights
[Bb] They help her [Eb] find her way
[Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] Times were [Eb] hard and the jobs [F] were few [Ab] [Bb] City life [Eb] so brand [Fm] new
[Ab] [Gm] Down in the barrio [G] Good times were [Cm] hard to find
[F]
[Eb] Rosie packs her [Ab] cares And up the [Eb] hills she climbs
[Cm] City [Fm] lights shining [Bb] bright [Fm] Spreading [Bb] out like Christmas [Eb] lights
Under California's [Ab] lights The [Gm] sun goes [G] down
And those dreams [Cm] begin to fade [Fm] But those city lights
[Eb] They help her find her way
Rosie never wants [Ab] those dreams to [Eb] fade away
[Ab] She never wants [Gm] to let the [Fm] rain spoil her sunny [Bb] day
[Ab] So when the [D] sun goes down [G] And those dreams [Cm] begin to fade
Oh, [Fm]
city lights [Gm] They [Eb] help her find her way
[Cm] City lights [Fm]
shining [Bb] bright [Fm] Spreading [Bb] out like Christmas [Eb] lights
Under California's [Ab] skies When the [Gm] sun goes down
[G] And her dreams [Cm] begin to fade
She's [Fm] got those city lights [Eb] She [Ab] loves her pretty [Eb] life
She's [Fm] got those city [Bb] lights To help her find her way
[Ab] She's [Gm] got the city lights [Fm] To help her [Eb] find her way
[Ab] [Eb]
