  D                           C             D 
She was hanging in a pawn shop in Memphis, TN.  
  C                   G                      D 
She was young & high strung her name was Rosalie, 
   D                                 C            D 
Her neck was long & slender, they said all the pearls are fine, 
   C                     G                      D 
I gave up my wedding ring so I could make her mine, 
    D                                                         
Then she rode with me to Nashville, where we joined a  
C                                D                                      
Country band, played a thousand different honky tonks 
   G                      D             D                         
And a thousand one night stands, Thru good times & ss 
            C                D                 C|| 
the bad times she gives me company, she made a nice -i 
     G                      D 
sweet home with me my little Rosalie, 
 

 D      C      G     D        C     G         D      
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no one else got so close to me 
   C                     G                     D 
Although there has been others, there will never be,  
    C          G                 D             C 
Another one quite like my little Rosalie, No there will 
  G                          D 
Never be another one like my Rosalie, 

 verse 

D                      C              D 
Well the money wasn't good, it was few & far between, 
C                           G                         D 
But then he'd start drinkin' & the fiddle split the scene 
   D                       C                     D 
Old Rosie stood besides me, thru the highs & the lows 
    C                     G                   D 
And I was playing in a band, paying thru the nose 

Solo 

 D                                   C                  D 
Well I left her where I found her, and I walked out with a gun 
      C                    G                      D 
I was half cocked & loaded I went looking for someone 
    D                            C                    D 
Then I came back in the springtime, I promised her I would 
   C                    G                   D 
But Rosalie long gone, this time it was for good, 

Chorus         

verse 

     D                           C                D 
Then late last night in the evening, I saw her on T V 
      C                  G                     D 
Another guitar man was a holding my pretty Rosalie, 
    D                     C                         D 
Her neck was long & slender, and her body curves so fine, 
        C                    G                  D           
I weep & now remember when sweet Rosalie was mine,
