D      Dmaj7
I know Rosie,

       Em          A                D       G    Em   A
You're living in a world you didn't make                         

                 D           Dmaj7           
And I know it's hard feeling happy                  

         Em7                    A             Bm    G     A
When the things you want aren't even there to take
[Chorus]
  G     F#m    Em           D
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow

        D                     Dmaj7          D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know

G        F#m            Em                   D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow

        D                     G              Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know

      A
Of my Rosie

G        D      A            D   G F#m Em A
Come on, Rosie, rosin up the bow.
[Verse]
D                Dmaj7
Throw away your uniform

Em                 A                 D      G  Em   A
Now's the time to take things by the hand

        D                Dmaj7
Come on in and take your coat off

Em7             A             Bm    
Settle down and listen to the band

               G         A
And ain't that grand, Rosie
[Chorus]
G       F#m    Em           D
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow

D                             Dmaj7          D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know

G        F#m            Em                   D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow

                              G              Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know

      A
Of my Rosie
[Outro]
G           D      A            D    D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.

G           D      A            D    D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.

G           D      A            D    D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.

G           D      A            D  
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
