3 5 5 5 -4 -4 4 4 3 5 5 6 4
I'm sitting on a windowsill, I’m blowing my horn
5 5 -4 4 3 4 -4 5 5 -4
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
4 -4 5 5 6 5 4 4 -4 5 -5 -4
And a lazy old tomcat, on a midnight spree
-4 3 -3 3 -3 4 4 -4 5 -5 4
And all that you left me was a melody.
3 5 6 -6 6 6 5 4
And Rosie, why do you evade?
5 6 -6 6 6 5 -4
Rosie, how can I persuade?

Rosie
3 3 4 -4 5 4 5 6 4
And the moon's all up, it’s full and big,
3 -3 4 -3 4 4 -4 5 -6 -6 -5
Apricot tips in an indigo sky,
-6 -6 6 -6 6 5 4
I've been loving you, Rosie,
3 3 3 4 5 -4
Since the day I was born
4 4 3 4 -4 4 -4 -4 5 -4 4
And I'll love you, Rosie 'til the day I die.
