Rosie Bokay 
E  A  E  A
ERosie's the Bbarmate at ABret Wilson's ETavern
That's where I'll Bbe all night Elong
She pours me my Blabel and Asits at my Etable
And F#hums me a honky tonk B7song.
ERosie don't Bgo to the APTA Emeetings
And the preacher has Bnot seen her Eface
But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me froAm draggin'
On Emy darlin' BRosie BoEkay.
Chorus:
EI Bneed ARosie BoEkay
I need somebody to F#love all my troubles aB7way
EI Bneed ARosie BoEkay
A Ehound needs to holler, a Abum needs a dollar
And EI need BRosie BoEkay.
EHonky tonk lBife ain't a Alife to be Eproud of
But it's better than Bbein' Ealone
Everyone tells Bme that ARosie ain't Epretty
But F#I've got a mind of my B7own.
EIf not for the Blong nights that AI spent with ERosie
My days would be Bcloudy and Egrey
If I was the mayor then do me a Afavor
And Ebring in more BRosie EBokay.
Chorus:
EI Bneed ARosie BoEkay
I need somebody to F#love all my troubles aB7way
EI Bneed ARosie BoEkay
A Ehound needs to holler, a Abum needs a dollar
And EI need BRosie BoEkay
