[Em] Cody Canada does what musicians do.

He and the rest of his new band, The Departed, [E] featuring Jeremy Plato, Seth James, Steve Littleton, [A] and Dave Bowen,
recently sat down to fill [Em] us in on what's on the horizon [Bm] for this supergroup [Em] with their tribute to red dirt music.
Check it out. _

_ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] _
The _ _ _ _ [E] Ballad of Rosalie, [F#m] recorded by Tom Skinner, [C#m] Mississauki, [F#m] Tulsa area.
Randy Pease wrote Rosalie.
[C#m] And he [F#m] spent some time in Stillwater [D] back in the [C#m] 90s, late 80s, [E] 90s.
And [A] this [F#m] was right when [C#] we first started [F#m] going to Stillwater, Jeremy and I.
And Steve was actually playing [C#m] up there at the band medicine show.
[F#m] And it was such [A] a movement of music [D] up there.
That's [C#m] why we all [F#m] moved up there.
[C#m] Jeremy and I talked for [F#m] a long time with [C#m] Ragweed about [F#m] doing this record.
And we were going to do it for the last Ragweed record, [C#] but it just didn't happen.
[F#m] You know, it was an immediate split.
_ [C#]
[F#m] And man, we just jumped right back into it, you know, and said, now's the time to do it.
Let's do this record.
And Rosalie was the first song that I heard in [B] Stillwater [F#m] by Tom Skinner.
And we've been talking about doing it for seriously for 15 years.
And [C#] here [F#m] we are finally getting our mitts on it.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She was hanging in a pawn [F#m] shop in Memphis, [E] Tennessee. _
[A] She was young and high [E] strong.
Her name was Rosalie. _
_ _ _ Her neck was long and slender.
[D] She said all the [E] pearls are fine.
[D] I gave up [C#m] my [E] wedding ring so I could make her mine.
_ _ Then she rode me to [D] Nashville where we joined a country band.
[A]
Played a thousand [G] humble [E] songs, a thousand one-night stands.
The good times and the bad [D] times she'd give me [E] company.
_ [D]
Made the [A] nights less lonely [E] while she rode me. _ _ _
_ _ [D] Rosalie, _ [A] Rosalie, [E]
Rosalie.
_ [D] Oh, why [A] have you got so [E] close to me?
_ _ [D] Although there [A] have been others, [E]
there will never be
[D] another [A] one quite like my [E] Rosalie.
_ No, [D] there'll never [A] be another one [E] like my Rosalie.
_ _ _ _ It was funny, it was good.
[D] It's a few [E] bombs away.
[D] The gentleman, he [A] stopped drinking, [E] fiddled with his feet.
Rosalie stood beside me.
[D] You have [E] to know, [D] my friend [A] and friend, [E] you have to know. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ I left my wedding ring and [D] I walked out with [E] a [Em] gun.
[D] Eyes half [A] cocked and bloated.
[E] I went looking for someone.
Came back in springtime, [D] from [E] Surinwood.
[D]
Rosalie [A] was long [E] gone, this time gone good. _

_ _ _ _ Early last Friday evening, [D] I saw her [E] on TV.
[D]
Another [A] guitar man was [E] holding my pretty little Rosalie. _
_ _ Her neck was long and slender [D] and her body [E] just [D] fine.
I'll even [A] now remember [E] that she broke me one night.
_ _ [D]
Rosalie, [A] Rosalie, [E] Rosalie.
_ _ [D]
Oh, why [A] have you got so [E] close to me?
