Verse 1
"Rosie", by Joan Armatrading
[G]He has little red feet
His stockin's in his shoes
[C]Lipstick and [D]rouge on his [G]face
He has his hair piled high
Has a red umbrella
And [C]carries his [D]head in the [G]sky
And I said "Awe[Em] [D]Rosie, don't you do [G]that to the [Em]boys
Don't you [C]come on so [D]willing
[G]Don't you come on so [Em]strong [C][Em][D]
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
And your [Em]warmth [C]sets [D]like the [G]sun
He has a [G]little baby brother
A big fat mama
His [C]sister asks for [D]dimes on the [G]street
He doesn't feel it's a cover
In fact he knows
For [C]sure [D]he can [G]please
I said he's out there right now
Running with the devil
[C]Struttin' down the [D]alley [G]ways
With the nervous young hopeful
At his heel
And [C]know his satisfaction won't [D]drive him [G]away
And I said [Em]"Awe [D]Rosie, don't you [G]do that to the [Em]boys
Don't you [C]come on so [D]willing
[G]Don't you come on so [Em]strong [C][Em][D]
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
And your [Em]warmth [C]sets [D]like the [G]sun
He's not looking for a friend
He's not looking for a lover
[C]There in the [D]crowded [G]bar
He has rings on his fingers
He's there to tease
You [C]know he only wants to [D]take things too [G]far
And I said [Em]"Awe [D]Rosie, don't you [G]do that to the [Em]boys
Don't you [C]come on so [D]willing
[G]Don't you come on so [Em]strong [C][Em][D]
It can be so chillin' C D Em
When you act so willin'
And your [Em]warmth [C]sets [D]like the [G]sun
