Ballad Of Rosalie

[D] chord & bass notes of    [A]  [C] [D] [F] [C] [D]     repeating

Sh[D]e was hanging in a pawn shop[C] in Memphis, T[D]N.
Sh[C]e was young & high s[G]trung her name was Rosa[D]lie,
Her[D] neck was long & slender, they sai[C]d all the pea[D]rls are fine,
I g[C]ave up my wedding ring[G] so I could make her mi[D]ne,
Then[D] she rode with me to Nashville, where we joined a
[C]Country band, played a thousand d[D]ifferent honky tonks
And[G] a thousand one night s[D]tands, Thru go[D]od times & ss
the bad time[C]s she gives me co[D]mpany, she made a [C]nice -i
sweet[G] home with me my little[D] Rosalie,

Chorus  [D]      [C]      [G]     [D]        [C]     [G]         [D]
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no one else got so close to me
Alt[C]hough there has been o[G]thers, there will neve[D]r be,
Anot[C]her one qui[G]te like my little [D]Rosalie, No th[C]ere will
Ne[G]ver be another one like my [D]Rosalie,

2nd verse [D]                      [C]              [D]
Well the money wasn't good, it was few & far between,
[C]But then he'd start drinkin'[G] & the fiddle split the sc[D]ene
Old[D] Rosie stood besides me,[C] thru the highs & the [D]lows
And [C]I was playing in a ban[G]d, paying thru the n[D]ose

W[D]ell I left her where I found her, an[C]d I walked out with[D] a gun
I was [C]half cocked & loaded [G]I went looking for some[D]one
Then[D] I came back in the springtim[C]e, I promised her I w[D]ould
But[C] Rosalie long gone, t[G]his time it was for [D]good,

Chorus         3rd verse
Then [D]late last night in the eveni[C]ng, I saw her on [D]T V
Anothe[C]r guitar man was a [G]holding my pretty Rosa[D]lie,
Her [D]neck was long & slende[C]r, and her body curves so [D]fine,
I weep &[C] now remember when sw[G]eet Rosalie was min[D]e,
