Rosie
Thea Gilmore
(Recorded Delivery - 2009)
(same chords in all three verses)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Well, the cars are leaving town
The winter s moving in
A tree has been torn down
By an ill wind, an ill wind
Oh, Rosie can you tell
My age from where I sit?
I m younger than I look
But old enough to know the half of it
Chorus:
Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?
You could still fly south
Before they find you out
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]
And anyone who calls your bluff will learn
That you don t need a match to get your fingers burned
Interlude: (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]
Rosie
