[Verse 1]
       C
Sister Rosetta
    Fadd9              C
God mother of rock and roll
    Fadd9              C
The original sister of soul
                     G
All our music was in her
            C
She brought rhythm
         Fadd9             C
From the darkness into the light
                Fadd9           
She brought the good work to the 
 C
night
                G
To save all our sinners


[Chorus]
Fadd9   C          G             
Rosetta rolled her eyes when she 
C
played
    Fadd9     C              G   
She knew that strange things 
        C
happen everyday
             Fadd9     C          
And that the white boy hype would 
  G        C
eventually fade
        Fadd9     Am7        
But the music she played would 
  G
remain

         C
New York City
       Fadd9          C
It was nineteen thiry eight
    Fadd9          C              
The radio couldn't wait for 
     G
Rosetta to rock it
        C
Instant sensation
           Fadd9                   
And little Elvis, Chuck and Johnny 
   C
at home
Fadd9                 C          
Heard her on the gramophone and 
                G
they wouldn't forget it


[Chorus]
Fadd9   C          G             
Rosetta rolled her eyes when she 
C
played
    Fadd9     C              G   
She knew that strange things 
   C
happen everyday
             Fadd9     C          
And that the white boy hype would 
  G        C
eventually fade
        Fadd9        Am7          
But the way that she played would 
G
remain
Fadd9            Am7     G
Rosetta's in the hall of fame


[Bridge]
Em            Am                
Don't let her be forgotten in a 
Fadd9     C
church in Arkansas
Em           Am                  
Remember her teaching the cotton 
Fadd9                  G
club, The Glory of the Lord
Em            Am            
Don't let her be forgotten, 
Fadd9            C
Rosetta deserves more
Em           Am                  
Remember her teaching a nation on
   Fadd9                           G
 a train platform in England in 1964

Sister Rosetta
        Fadd9               C
Saw the bright lights fade away
    Fadd9                   C     
She saw out the last of her days 
                 G
in the suburbs of Philly
            C
Down by the river
                Fadd9        C
She still heard music in the air
          Fadd9         C         
Up above ahead and everywhere on a
                 G
 train bound for glory


[Chorus]
Fadd9   C          G             
Rosetta rolled her eyes when she 
C
played
    Fadd9     C              G   
She knew that strange things 
        C
happen everyday
             Fadd9     C          
And that the white boy hype would 
G          C
eventually fade
        Fadd9        Am7          
But the way that she played would
