Rosie cross the Rio Grande

IN the middle of the night she swam

All that she carried
F#m D#9 C#m C#m B
Was in a plain cloth sack
A G#m
Headed for the promise land
F#m B7
Never coming back
[Verse 2]
E A B E E
Friends and family stayed behind
A B E E
To hauls the crops at harvest time
A B7
The think about Rosie
F#m D#9 C#m C#M B
And all those nights
A G#m
She went lookin’ for
F#m B7
The City Lights
N.C.
To see those..
{Chorus}
EM7 C#m
City Lights
F#m Bsus B
Shining in her eyes
F#m Bsus B
Beaming down like Christmas lights
E D9
Under California skies
A G#m
And when the sun goes down
F#m B9
And her dreams begin to fade
F#m
She want’s those city lights
Bsus B E
To help her find her way..
E A Bsus B E A Bsus B

{Verse} SAME PROGRESSIONS AS PREVIOUS VERSE AND CHORUS
E A B E E
Times were hard And the jobs were few
A B E
And the city life was so brand new
E A
And down in the Barios
F#m D#9 C#m C#m B
Good times were hard to find
A G#m
So they watched her
F#m B
As up that hill she climbed
NC
To see those..
EM7 C#m
City Lights
F#m Bsus B
Shining in her eyes
F#m B
Their beaming down like Christmas lights
E D9
Under California skies
A G#m
And when the sun goes down
F#m B9
And her dreams begin to fade
F#M
She want’s those city lights
Bsus B E
To help her find way.
E F#m G#m
And Rosie never wants
A Bsus B
Those dreams to fade away
F#m G#m
She wants to save those dreams
A Bsus B
For a sunny day
A D9
And when the sun goes down
G#m B9
And her dreams begin to fade..
F#m A
She got those city lights
F#m
She needs those city lights
G#7 F#m
Oh She wants those city light
Bsus B
To help her find her way...
