Song: The Ballad Of Rosalie Tab
The Ballad of Rosalie Cody Canada Capo 2
D chord & bass notes of A C D F C D repeating
D C D
She was hanging in a pawn shop in Memphis, TN.
C G D
She was young & high strung her name was Rosalie,
D C D
Her neck was long & slender, they said all the pearls are fine,
C G D
I gave up my wedding ring so I could make her mine,
D
Then she rode with me to Nashville, where we joined a
C D
Country band, played a thousand different honky tonks
G D D
And a thousand one night stands, Thru good times &
C D C
the bad times she gives me company, she made a nice
G D
sweet home with me my little Rosalie,
Chorus D C G D C G D
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no one else got so close to me
C G D
Although there has been others, there will never be,
C G D C
Another one quite like my little Rosalie, No there will
G D
Never be another one like my Rosalie,
2nd verse D C D
Well the money wasn't good, it was few & far between,
C G D
But then he'd start drinkin' & the fiddle split the scene
D C D
Old Rosie stood besides me, thru the highs & the lows
C G D
And I was playing in a band, paying thru the nose
Solo
D C D
Well I left her where I found her, and I walked out with a gun
C G D
I was half cocked & loaded I went looking for someone
D C D
Then I came back in the springtime, I promised her I would
C G D
But Rosalie long gone, this time it was for good,
Chorus 3rd verse
D C D
Then late last night in the evening, I saw her on T V
C G D
Another guitar man was a holding my pretty Rosalie,
D C D
Her neck was long & slender, and her body curves so fine,
C G D
I weep & now remember when sweet Rosalie was mine,
Chorus Solo
