[Bm]
[E] I'm going to sing a song.
[A] This is a true story about a guy [E] I knew that, he used to sit right over there.
And he mixed the monitors on stage, you know.
[A] [E]
He met [A] a really beautiful girl [F#m] and that's where the sad [B] part comes in.
[A] [E]
She was standing at the loading [A] and the [E] big trucks rolled off.
[A] [E] [F#m] [A] She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female [E] pup.
[A] [E] [A] She wasn't hard to talk to, looked [E] like she had nowhere [C#m] to go.
[E] So I gave her my pass so she [A] could get in [B] and see [E] the show.
[A] [E] Well I sat her down right next to [A] me [B] and I [E] got her a beer.
[A] [E] [A] I mixed that sound on stage so the band could [E] hear.
[A] [E] The [A] more I watched her watch them play, [E] the less I thought [C#m] of to say.
[D#m] And [E] when they walked off stage, the drummer [A] swept that [B] girl away.
[E]
[A] [E] [A] Rosie, you're [E] all right, you [A] wear my ring.
When you hold [E] me tight, Rosie, [A] that's my thing.
When you turn out the [E] light, I got to hand [C#m] it to me.
[E] [A] Looks like it's me and you [B] again tonight, [E] Rosie.
[A] [E]
[A] [E] Well I guess I might have [A] known from the start, [B] she'd come for [E] a start.
[A] [E] [A] Might have told my imagination not to [E] run too far.
[A]
[E] [A] Of all the times that I've been burned, [E] by now you'd think [C#m] I'd learn.
That [E] it's who you look [A] like, [E] not who you are.
[A]
[E] [A] But Rosie, you're [E] all right, you [A] wear my ring.
When you hold [E] me tight, Rosie, [A] that's my thing.
When you turn out [E] the light, I got to hand it [C#m] to me.
[E] [A] Looks like it's me and you again [B] tonight, [A] Rosie.
Looks like it's me and you [B] again tonight.
[A] Looks like it's me and you [B] again tonight, [E] Rosie.
[A] [E] Rosie.
[A] [E] Rosie.
[A] Rosie.
[E]
[A] [E] Rosie.
