Buck Owens - Sweet Rosie Jones guitar chord

Sweet Rosie Jones

Buck Owens

CD – Very Best Of Buck Owens Vol. 1

D

I met her out in Oklahoma

G D

Down where the old Red River flows

G D

I vowed my love to her forever

A D

She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

D

We walked alone down by the river

G D

Just as the sun was sinking low

G D

And in her eyes I saw big trouble

A D

Like the muddy waters down below.

D G C G

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey

C G

Her hair was bright as yellow as gold

C G

Her cheeks were red as summer roses

D G////A

She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.

D

And then one day a tall dark stranger

G D

With hair as black as winter coal

G D

Rode into town as night was falling

A D

And there he met my Rosie Jones.

(Spoken)

I woke next morning just after sunup

To find a note from my Rosie's hand

And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you

But I'm in love with that tall dark man.

So now I walk alone down by the river

Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll

And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters

For I can't live without Rosie Jones.

D G C G

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey

C G

Her hair was bright as yellow as gold

C G

Her cheeks were red as summer roses

D G

She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones...
