A       G         A                 D
Joe and rosalita, look'em up in the year book
A       G               D            E
Even then they had that wild-in-love crazy look
A            G             A         D
Joe's car on friday night, after the ball game
A        G            D
Steam so thick on the windows
           E
They could write their names
F#m               G        D               E
They'd fight like cats and dogs outside of homeroom
F#m                G               D         E
See'em hangin' all over each other that same afternoon


[Chorus]

Joe and Rosalita
D         A                E
Ball-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senorita
D           A         C        G       D    E
Rocked this town like no one's ever done
            F#m     E            A
'Round here they're known as the legends of love

A       G   D    A                    D
Old mr.rosenbaum kicked'em out of the senior prom
A          G
Busted for dirty dancin'
D                    E
Sent him home and he called her mom
A              G             A             D
Pulled the old pillow trick, and they both snuck out
A         G              D                    E
Showed up two days later still in a tux and a prom gown
F#m         G            D           E
Got married on the steps outside the courthouse
F#m           G             D                 E
Called it the great escape, people still talk about it now

Rocked this town like no one's ever done
       D    F#m     E            A
'Round here they're known as the legends of love

Rosalita is still a rose
         Bm                   A  D   E F
Now it's been 10 years for rose and joe
A       G                A             D
Now sometimes you see'em cruisin' down main street
A             G               D               E
Still got his arm around her, two kids in the backseat
F#m         G          D            E
They book a babysitter to go out on friday
F#m            G          D                  E
Sometimes they never even make it out of the driveway
