Lyrics and music by Dave Swarbrick. From the "Fairport Live Convention" album in 1974.
D Dmaj7
I know Rosie,
G A D G Dsus4 A
You're living in a world you didn't make
D Dmaj7
And I know it's hard feeling happy
G A Bm G A
When the things you want aren't even there to take
G Fm Em D
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow
Dmaj7 D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know
G Fm Em D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow
Dmaj7 G Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know
A
Of my Rosie
G D A D
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
D Dmaj7
Throw away your uniform
G A D G Dsus4 A
Now's the time to take things by the hand
D Dmaj7
Come on in and take your coat off
G A Bm
Settle down and listen to the band
G A
And ain't that grand, Rosie
G Fm Em D
Come on Rosie, rosin up the bow
Dmaj7 D7
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know
G Fm Em D
Lie down cozy and let's learn to take things slow
Dmaj7 G Em
For the more I learn it's the less I seem to know
A
Of my Rosie
G D A D D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
G D A D D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
G D A D D7
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
G D A D
Come on, my Rosie, rosin up the bow.
