   G                                                 C

Mama pyjama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station

         D                                                      G

When the cop found out, he began to shout, he started the investigation

                     D                        G

And it's against the law, it was against the law

               D                        G

What what mama saw, it was against the law

Mama looked down and spit on the ground ever time her name gets mentioned

The cop said oy, if I get that boy

I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention

                 C                G

Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'

          C              G            A          D

I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where

            C                    G

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona

                F    C             D   G     C G D

Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

                F    C             D   G     C G D

Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

(Instrumental break)

In a couple of days they're gonna take me away

When the press let the story leak

Now when the radical breach comes to get me released

Appears all on the cover of Newsweek

And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona

Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and take me away

But the press let the story leak

And when the radical priest come and get me released

We's all on the cover of Newsweek.

And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona

See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

Note:  intro pattern can be played using a D6 instead of D.  If so,

play the intro as follows.  

A = |x07655|

D6= |xx7777|

E = |xxx454|

This song also works well if one guitar plays in A as described and

the other capos 2 and plays in G.
