Rosie Bokay chords by George Jones

Rosie Bokay

E  A  E  A

E           B          A             E
Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern
                 B             E
That's where I'll be all night long
                B         A          E
She pours me my label and sits at my table
    F#                   B7
And hums me a honky tonk song.

E           B         A   E
Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings
                     B            E
And the preacher has not seen her face
                                            A
But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me from draggin'
   E          B       E
On my darlin' Rosie Bokay.

Chorus:
E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay
                   F#                    B7
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
E B    A       E
I need Rosie Bokay
  E                        A
A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar
    E      B       E
And I need Rosie Bokay.

Honky tonk life ain't a life to be proud of
But it's better than bein' alone
Everyone tells me that Rosie ain't pretty
But I've got a mind of my own.

If not for the long nights that I spent with Rosie
My days would be cloudy and grey
If I was the mayor then do me a favor
And bring in more Rosie Bokay.

Chorus
