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
