Well, I'm sitting on the window sill, blowing my horn.
D G E A
Nobody's up except the moon and me
D G D G
and a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree.
D G E A D
All that he left me was a melody.
D D/F# G D
Rosie, why do you evade?
D D/F# G D

Rosie.
The moon's all up, full and big
Apricot tips in an indigo sky.
I been lovin' you, Rosie, since the day I was born.
I'll love ya, Rosie, 'til the day I die.
