Rosalita

	  		intro:   F - Bb - F - C   (arpeggio repeat about 8x) 

F      Bb      F     C            F       Bb          F     C 
Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins 
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game 
You pick up little dynamite  - I'll pick up little gun 
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run 

Bb                                               Am                  Dm 
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son 
C                                           Bb 
The only lover I'm ever gonna need  you're some sweet little girl's tongue 
C11   C     C11   C    C11   C    C11   C   (quickly) 
         Ah Rosie you're the one 

 F   Bb           F      C        F    Bb      F         C 
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats 
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats 
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus 
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us 

She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we 
ain't gonna come 
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun 
And Rosie you're the one 

Chorus: 
    F     Bb           F       C     F     Bb 
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire 
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire 

Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there 
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air 
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school 
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright 

(C)         Gm                     C               Csus4   C  Csus2  C 
So Rosie come out tonight - oh baby come out tonight 

Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor 
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door 
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for 

(Chorus) 

C                                              Gm 
And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band 
       Dm                                     Am 
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand 
           F                                                   Gm 
Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a 
hand 
              Dm                                Am 
I'm coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man 
               Bb                    C                F        Am 
Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny 
    Dm                     Bb 
But now you're sad - your mommas mad and your 
(no chords) 
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money (oh your) 
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money 
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money 
              Gm                                   Eb                Bb 
Well tell him this is his last chance - to get his daughter in a fine romance 
          C11    C       C11     C      C11     C       C11     C  (quickly) 
Because  the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance 

And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy 
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey 
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong 
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms 

I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way 
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day 
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin' 
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming 

(Chorus)
