Chords

From the album 'Buck 'em - the music of Buck Owens 1967 - 1975' [Verse 1] N.C. I met her
D
out in Oklahoma 

               G              D
Down where the old Red River flows

           G              D 
I vowed my love to her forever 

                   A    A7    D
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
[Verse 2]
D           
We walked alone down by the river 

            G               D
Just as the sun was sinking low

           G          D
And in her eyes I saw big trouble 

               A             D    D7
Like the muddy waters down below.
[Verse]
D7            G        C          G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey 

             G          C     G  
Her hair was bright as yellow gold

                G  C             G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses 

                 D7           G     A7   
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
[Verse 3]
              D
And then one day a tall dark stranger 

             G               D
With hair as black as winter coal

          G                 D
Rode into town as night was falling 

             A      A7    D
And there he met my Rosie Jones.
[Interlude] (SPOKEN)
D
I woke next morning just after sunup 

                                    G
To find a note from my Rosie's hand

                                     D
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you 

                                        G
But I'm in love with that tall dark man.

                                     D
So now I walk alone down by the river 
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
                                              A7
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters 

                               D
For I can't live without Rosie Jones.
[Verse]
D7            G        C          G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey 

             G          C     G  
Her hair was bright as yellow gold

                G      C         G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses 

                 D7           G  
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
