Buck Owens - Sweet Rosie Jones

      From the album 'Buck 'em - the music of Buck Owens 1967 - 1975'

[Verse 1]
N.C.
I met her 
D
out in Oklahoma 
               G              D
Down where the old Red River flows
           G              D 
I vowed my love to her forever 
                   A    A7    D
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

[Verse 2]
D           
We walked alone down by the river 
            G               D
Just as the sun was sinking low
           G          D
And in her eyes I saw big trouble 
               A             D    D7
Like the muddy waters down below.

[Verse]
D7            G        C          G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey 
             G          C     G  
Her hair was bright as yellow gold
                G  C             G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses 
                 D7           G     A7   
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

[Verse 3]
              D
And then one day a tall dark stranger 
             G               D
With hair as black as winter coal
          G                 D
Rode into town as night was falling 
             A      A7    D
And there he met my Rosie Jones.

[Interlude] (SPOKEN)
D
I woke next morning just after sunup 
                                    G
To find a note from my Rosie's hand
                                     D
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you 
                                        G
But I'm in love with that tall dark man.
                                     D
So now I walk alone down by the river 

Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
                                              A7
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters 
                               D
For I can't live without Rosie Jones.

[Verse]
D7            G        C          G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey 
             G          C     G  
Her hair was bright as yellow gold
                G      C         G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses 
                 D7           G  
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
