E D
i knew a girl named rosalie ,
A E
we used to hang out in the park ,
E D
we used to score the system grease ,
A E
from the fellas after dark .
E D
we used to sail the streets at night ,
A E
used to hang out in the rain ,
E D
she had a bad time in the bowery ,
A E
caught a bullet in the teeth .

E D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
rosalie come and stay ,
D
rosalie come and go ,
A
oh never liked you anyway .

E D
i knew a girl named mary ann ,
A E
she had a camera and a cane ,
E D
she used to walk me to the station ,
Fm
when i was dying in the rain .

E D
she was a friend of rosalie’s ,
A E
they had a nurse they liked to share ,
E D
and when mary ann was doing the doctor ,
A E
you know his cupboards went bare .

E D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
rosalie come and stay ,
D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
i never liked you anyway .

E D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
rosalie come and stay ,
D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
i never liked you anyway .

E D
i knew a boy named billy haynes ,
A E
he had it all figured out ,
E D
he had a trail of dust and branches marked ,
Fm
to get him back down south .

E D
but the blue lights had his number ,
A E
and he was sweating hard from the heat ,
E D
he’s got a pack of bullets in his satchel
A E
down on forty second street .

E D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
rosalie come and stay ,
D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
i never liked you anyway .

E D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
rosalie come and stay ,
D
rosalie come and go ,
A E
i never liked you anyway .
