Verse 1
(D major) She tied (A major) (Asus4) (D major) (Asus4) (D major) a
ribbon around (G major) her long hair (D major)
Plucks out some grey ones
that (A major) were reput there (D major)
With her fingertip she traces
the (G major) lines on her face (D major)
Wishes like hell,
she was (A major) some other place (D major)
Rose Ellen, you've sure made
a (G major) mess of your life (D major)
Always a lover, but (A major) never a wife (D major)
Now you're a -pushin' thirty,
burn (G major) in' out fast
(D major) Not much of the future,
just one (A major) hell of a (D major) past
Way down in Holbury, back (G major) to the Wall
Playboys (D major) to cowboys,
what a long (G major) way to (A major) fall
From (D major) champagne and crystal
and (G major) living for kick (D major) s
To a back street in Waco,
(A major) ten bucks a trip (D major) (A major) (E major) (A major)
Rosella, (D major) Rosella,
you'll (G major) pay for your sins (D major)
When you waltz with the devil,
the (A major) dance never
And (D major) you can't do over what's
already (G major) done (D major)
You're (Asus4) (D major) too proud to stay here,
too (A major) tired to (D major) run
She stares at the bottle filled (G major) by her (D major) bed
And slowly the answer comes (A major) into her head (D major)
So she gives up her lease
on life's (G major) merry -go -round (D major)
Takes up her option on
six (A major) -feet ground (D major)
Now (A major) she's (D major) deep down and speedin'
if (G major) you can do it all
The (D major) service was simple,
at (G major) tendance was small (A major)
Just one (D major) blue -eyed cowboy,
Rosellin (G major) had met (D major)
You see, owed her ten dollars,
and (A major) I was paying my debt. (E major)
(A major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) you
Rose Ellen
