George Jones – Rosie Bokay (Guitar)

E           B          A             E
Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern

                 B             E
That's where I'll be all night long

                B         A          E
She pours me my label and sits at my table

    F#                   B7
And hums me a honky tonk song.

E           B         A   E
Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings

                     B            E 
And the preacher has not seen her face

                                            A
But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me from draggin'

   E          B       E
On my darlin' Rosie Bokay.

E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay

                   F#                    B7
I need somebody to love all my troubles away

E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay

  E                        A  
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar

    E      B       E 
And I need Rosie Bokay.

E           B           A          E
Honky tonk life ain't a life to be proud of

                     B     E
But it's better than bein' alone

               B       A           E
Everyone tells me that Rosie ain't pretty

    F#                    B7 
But I've got a mind of my own.

E              B                A            E
If not for the long nights that I spent with Rosie

                 B          E
My days would be cloudy and grey

                                A       
If I was the mayor then do me a favor

    E             B     E
And bring in more Rosie Bokay.

E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay

                   F#                    B7
I need somebody to love all my troubles away

E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay

  E                        A  
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar

    E      B       E 
And I need Rosie Bokay
