Chords for Rosie

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] It only seems like yesterday I watched the school kids play
[G] The big clock [D] on the smoke-stained [E] wall said tomorrow's [A] another day
_ [D] Her old book claimed another name She was only new in town
[G] But she felt the [D] pain of a travelled name When they tried to bring her down _
Her dress was worn and faded Had the shoes upon her feet
[G] And a yellow [D]-coloured ribbon [E] tied Her rain-washed [A] hair up neat
_ [D] She said her name was Rosie She was only new in town
[G] But she felt the [D] pain of a travelled name [A] When they tried to [D] bring her down
_ _ [G] Rosie, oh Rosie, [D] please don't cry Things [Em] will [A] be much different [D] by and by
_ [G] And when you make the grade someday [D] they'll say
[Bm] Do [G] you [A] remember Rosie [D] yesterday?
_ _ Her books were bought and borrowed From the banker's only son
[G] And her study [D] was as usual [E] Whenever [A] school was done
_ [D] The school kids laughed and they jeered at her She was everybody's clown
[G] But she felt the [D] pain of a travelled [A] name When they tried to [D] bring her down _
When the church bell rang on Sundays Saying it's time for morning mass
[G] The kids would [D] have the front seat [E] Like they did in [A] Rosie's class
_ [D] But it didn't seem to matter What they thought or what they found
[G] She felt the [D] pain of a travelled name [A] When they tried to [D] bring her down
_ _ [G] Rosie, oh Rosie, [D] please don't cry Things [Em] will be [A] much different [D] by and by
And [G] when you make the grade someday [D] they'll say
[Bm] Do [G] you [A] remember Rosie [D] yesterday?
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] Now time was pushing onward And it almost seemed to say
[G] It won't be long [D] now, Rosie [E] Till you'll soon be [A] on your way
_ [D] Taught a lesson to society You were never on the ground
[G] Though you felt the [D] pain of a travelled name [A] When they tried to [D] bring you down
_ Cause today in this old schoolhouse There's a teacher just next door
[G] And they call her [D] Sister Rosie [E] And they love her, [A] that's for sure
_ _ [D] And she smiles when she remembers now When it mattered what they found
[G] When she felt the pain [D] of a travelled name [A] When they tried to bring [D] her down _
_ [G] Rosie, oh Rosie, please [D] don't cry Things [Em] will be [A] much different by [D] and by
And [G] when you make the grade someday [D] they'll say
[Bm]
Do [G] you remember [A] Rosie [D] yesterday? _ _
_ [G] Rosie, oh Rosie, please [D] don't cry _ _
