Don Partridge, Rosie (1968)
Key: :[E] (w:)
CHORUS 1:
[E] Rosie, oh,
[F#] Rosie, I'd
[A] like
to paint your face up in the
[E] sky
[E] Sometimes when I'm
[F#] busy
re-
[A]-laxing, I look up and catch your
[E] eye
BRIDGE 1:
Your
[F#m] eyes when they're
[Ab7] widening
bring
[F#m] thunder and
[Ab7] lightening
and
[F#m] sunset strokes the
[C#] colour to your
[F#m] skin
Your
[F#m] eyes are so
[Ab7] blue
I just
[F#m] think of a
[Ab7] blue sky
and
[F#m] bumble bees
[C#] buzzing on the
[F#m] wing
[B7]
CHORUS 2:
[E] Rosie, oh,
[F#] Rosie, it's
[A] raining
when you look the other
[E] way
[E] Rosie, oh,
[F#] Rosie, your
[A] laughter
brings the sunshine out to
[E] play
INSTRUMENTAL: [over CHORUS]
BRIDGE 2:
And
[F#m] though I just
[Ab7] met you
well
[F#m] I silhou-
[Ab7]-ette you
or
[F#m] highlight golden
[C#] shadows in your
[F#m] hair
I'm
[F#m] painting your
[Ab7] mind's eye
up
[F#m] there in the
[Ab7] blue sky
[F#m] summer birds
[C#] winging through the
[F#m] air
[B7]
CHORUS 3:
[E] Rosie, oh,
[F#] Rosie, I
[A] paint
your face for all the world to
[E] see
[E] Rosie, oh,
[F#] Rosie, I'd
[A] like
to paint your face eternal-
[E]-ly
[B] [E]
