Rose City

CWe wrote our names in the Gtunnel back when
Coos FBay was as far away as we’d Dmever been
FPine trees climbing up Dmwinding hills
FFishing boats and Gpaper mills
CMultnomah County’s where GI come from
FHometown to Bigfoot and the DmBurnside bums
FRain clouds hangin’ down Dmlow and grey
God Fknows I wish it would have Grained today
Chorus:
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FblueGs
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FbluesG  
CTonight I’m drivin’ through Gsome other town
FRadio on with the Dmwindows down
FOld song comes on from a long Dmtime ago
FHow on earth did that GDJ know
Chorus:
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FblueGs
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FbluesG  
Bridge:
CRain C/Brain Amrain
CPouC/Bring Amrain doesn’t bother Cme

CWe wrote our names in the Gtunnel back then
And Flast night we went down and Dmdid it again
FOne sip too many from that old Dmloving cup
FRose City people never Gdo grow up
Chorus:
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FblueGs
TonCight I’ve C/Bgot those Amold Rose Am/GCity FbluesG
