Rosalita  Bruce Springsteen



intro:   F - Bb - F - C   (arpeggio repeat about 8x)

[F]Spread [Bb]out now [F]Rosie [C]doctor come c[F]ut loose[Bb] her momma's[F] reins[C]
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run

[Bb]You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I [Am]don't wanna be your [Dm]son
[C]The only lover I'm ever gonna need  you're s[Bb]ome sweet little girl's tongue
C11 C C11 C C11 C C 11 C (quickly)
Ah Rosie you're the one

D[F]ynam[Bb]ite's in the [F]Belfry [C]baby play[F]ing w[Bb]ith the [F]bats      [C]
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us

She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one

(Chorus:)
Rosa[F]lita j[Bb]ump a little [F]lighter [C]- Seno[F]rita c[Bb]ome sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire

Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there

Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright

[C]So Rosie com[Gm]e out tonight - oh baby[C] come out tonigh[Csus4]t       [C]   [Csus2]       [C]

Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for

(CHORUS)

[C]And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I [Gm]play in a rock and roll band
       [Dm]                             [Am] 
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
Your poppa [F]lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm [Gm]comin' to lend a
hand
I'm coming to [Dm]liberate you - confiscate you - I [Am]want to be your man
Some day we'll [Bb]look back on this and [C]it will all seem [F]funny    [Am]
But [Dm]now you're sad - your m[Bb]ommas mad and your
(no chords)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money (oh your)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
Well tell him [Gm]this is his last chance - to get his [Eb]daughter in a fine[Bb] romance
C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
Because the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance

And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms

I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming

(CHORUS)
