Bb F C7
[Verse 1]
RosCanne, I gotta take it on the Flam
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin'
RosCanne, you need another kind of Fman
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin'
I left my Cevil ways back in my Fburnin' days
CNights were spent just to Am7hold Gyou
You left your Clovin' charms in someone Felse's arms
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin', you're my FruG7in, RosCanne
[Verse 2]
The way a Clovebird flies a foolish Fheart just dies
CTrapped in your situAm7at--Gion
There's nothin' CI can say, I guess it's Fbeen that way
CSince the dawn of creAm7at--Gion
RosCanne, I gotta take it on the Flam
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin'
RosCanne, you need another kind of Fman
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin', you're my FruG7in, RosCanne

CCould have preGmvented all this, Fmaj7if we'd Em7taken the Dm7time
CCould have preGmvented all this, Fmaj7if we'd Em7made up our F6minds, G6Rosanne
[Verse 1]
RosCanne, I gotta take it on the Flam
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin'
RosCanne, you need another kind of Fman
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin'
I left my Cevil ways back in my Fburnin' days
CNights were spent just to Am7hold Gyou
You left your Clovin' charms in someone Felse's arms
CWhat do you think you been Am7do--Gin', you're my FruG7in, RosCanne
