Sweet Rosie Jones

(início)

           D
I met her out in Oklahoma
                G              D
Down where the old Red River flows
            G              D
I vowed my love to her forever
               A                D
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
D
We walked alone down by the river
             G               D
Just as the sun was sinking low
            G          D
And in her eyes I saw big trouble
                 A            D
Like the muddy waters down below.
D              G        C         G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
                         C        G
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold
                         C     G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
                 D              G     A
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
              D
And then one day a tall dark stranger
               G              D
With hair as black as winter coal
            G                 D
Rode into town as night was falling
              A             D
And there he met my Rosie Jones.
(Spoken)
I woke next morning just after sunup
To find a note from my Rosie's hand
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you
But I'm in love with that tall dark man.
So now I walk alone down by the river
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters
For I can't live without Rosie Jones.
D              G         C       G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
                         C       G
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold
                         C     G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
                    D           G
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones...
