Rosalita

F      Bb      F     C          
Spread out now Rosie doctor come
  F       Bb          F     C
 cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff 
is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite  - I'll 
pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight 
and make that highway run

Bb                                
You don't have to call me 
               Am                  
lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna 
Dm
be your son
C                                 
The only lover I'm ever gonna need
          Bb
  you're some sweet little girl's 
tongue
C11   C     C11   C    C11   C    C 
11   C   (quickly)
         Ah Rosie you're the one

 F   Bb           F      C
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby 
        F    Bb      F         C
playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of 
Woolworths trying out his attitude 
on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for 
the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting 
up for us

She'll be there in that chair 'till 
they wrestle her upstairs cause you 
know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm 
only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one

[Chorus]
    F     Bb           F       C
Rosalita jump a little lighter -
     F     Bb
 Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no 
lie - Rosalita you're my strong 
desire

[Verse 2]
Jack-the -rabbit and 
weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're 
gonna be there
Continúa después del anuncio
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy 
they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip 
some school
act real cool - stay out all night -
 it's gonna be alright

(C)         Gm                    
So Rosie come out tonight - oh 
 C               Csus4   C  Csus2  C
baby come out tonight

Windows are for cheaters - chimneys 
for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners 
use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's 
there for

[Chorus]
    F     Bb           F       C
Rosalita jump a little lighter -
     F     Bb
 Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no 
lie - Rosalita you're my strong 
desire

[Verse 3]
C                                 
And I know your momma she don't 
             Gm
like me 'cuz I play in a rock and 
roll band
       Dm                          
And I know your daddy he don't dig 
           Am
me but he never did understand
           F                    
Your poppa lowered the boom - he 
                               Gm
locked you in your room - I'm comin'
 to lend a
hand
              Dm            
I'm coming to liberate you - 
                    Am
confiscate you - I want to be your 
man
               Bb                  
Some day we'll look back on this 
  C                F        Am
and it will all seem funny
    Dm                     Bb
But now you're sad - your mommas mad
 and your
(no chords)
Poppa says he knows that I don't 
have any money (oh your)
Poppa says he knows that I don't 
have any money
Poppa says he knows that I don't 
have any money
              Gm              
Well tell him this is his last 
                     Eb          
chance - to get his daughter in a 
      Bb
fine romance

    C11     C       C11     C  
(quickly)
Because  the record company Rosie - 
just gave me a big advance

And my tires were slashed and I 
almost crashed but the lord had 
mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the 
mud somewhere in the swamps of 
Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night 
Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning 
light I will hold you in my arms

I know a pretty little place in 
Southern California down San Diego 
way
There's a little cafe - where they 
play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room 
strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you 
know daddy's coming

[Chorus]
    F     Bb           F       C
Rosalita jump a little lighter -
     F     Bb
 Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no 
lie - Rosalita you're my strong 
desire
