Old Rosie Chords by The Wurzels

_ _ [C#] _ [E] _ [G#] All my life [C#m] I've been searching, _ _ [A] _ [E] trying to [B] fulfill my dream.
_ _ [G#] Since a youngin' I have [C#m] known it [B] was my [A] destiny [E] to [F#] own a traction steam engine [B] machine.
_ _ _ [E] No [G#] matter what [C#m] her condition, _ _ [D] _ [A] I would do her [B] up like new.
_ _ [A] _ [B] Then I take her [E] around to all the steam fair [B] showing [A] grounds she'd call such [B] a _ [E]
hullabaloo.
_ [A] _ Good [E] old Rosie, [A]
you're [E] my Rosie, [A] I [E] love Rosie.
[F#m]
Stoking up the [G#m] fire, letting off [A] steam, engine [G#m] smooth like [F#m] cream.
She'll be [G#m] known as the Steam [A] Fair [B] Queen.
_ [E] _
_ Oh Rosie.
Out [G#] on the blue [C#m] came a vision when [A] _ [F#m] [E] I first called [B] sight of you.
_ _ [G#] Abandoned in a gloomy [C#m] barn [B] on a [A] scrumpy [B] cider farm, [F#] I realized my searching [B] was through.
_ _ _ [E] You [G#] were rotting, [C#m] sad and sorry, _ _ [D] _ [A] under years of [B] dirt and rust.
_ _ [A] Missed the [B] brambles, leaves and [E] weeds and [B] bleeding [C#m] nettles, [B] stung me knees.
[A] To save you, [B] I knew that I [E]
must.
_ [A] _ Good [E] old Rosie, [A]
[F#m] you're [E] my Rosie, [A] I [E] love Rosie.
[F#m]
Stoking up the [G#m] fire, letting off [A] steam, engine [G#m] smooth like cream.
[F#m]
She'll be known [G#m] as the Steam Fair [A] Queen.
_ [B] _ _ [E] _
Oh Rosie.
_ _ [G#] After four long [C#m] years of grafting, _ _ [A] _ [F#m] [E] burning candles through [B] the night,
_ _ [G#] greasing, welding, mangle grinding, [C#m]
[B] cleaning, rubbing [A] [E] down, [F#] priming.
Rosie, at show grounds in [B] sight, _ _ _ [E] _ [G#] gauzy paintwork [C#m] all gleaming.
_ _ [D] We [A] were ready now [B] to go.
_ [A] All our friends [B] and pals were there, [E] showing [B] at [C#m] the door, [B] said farewell, [A] famous, [B] great steam [E] engine show.
_ _ [A] _ Good [E] old Rosie, _ [A]
[F#m] you're [E] my Rosie, _ [A] I [E] love Rosie.
[F#m] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] Good [E] old Rosie, _ [A]
you're [E] my Rosie, [A] I [E] love Rosie.
[F#m] Stoking up the fire, [G#m] letting off steam, [A] engine smooth [G#m] like cream.
[F#m] Rosie, the queen [G#m] of the Steam Fair scene, [A] Rosie flows [B] in the sunshine.
[E] Oh Rosie. _ _ _ _ _ _
