Tumbleweed and Rosalee
Em G
Em G
Tumbleweed and Rosalee, ’ art to go down in History
Em G
As the greatest love the West has ever known
Em G
Tumbleweed was full of need , Blown to the wind like a mustard seed
Em G
Rosie only wanted to give him a home
C D G Em
Now he’s Saddled up the Chestnut Stallion Ride away like a brave battalion
C D Em
With Rosie on the porch trying not to cry
C D G Em
Off to seek his lady of fortune nothing but the sun to scorch him
C D
He could hear her sing as he waived goodbye
Chorus
G C
Cowgirls need a little love sometime, but cowboys love to roam
D G D
Sleep out on that prairie all night long
G C
Cowgirls need a little love sometime, but cowboys love to roam
D G
Tumbleweed wont you hurry please and bring your love on home
Em G
Rosalee and Tumbleweed ah didn’t even own the deed
Em G
To a little piece of land they called their farm
Em
Now it belonged to One eye’d Jack
G
and You could find him dressed in black
Em G
Trying to trade the deed for Rosie’s charm
C D
While Tumbleweed out in the Saddle
G C D Em
Trying to win a poor mans battle, Rosie on the home front standing strong
C D G Em
Like a vulture Jack sat waiting, cussing Tumbleweed and hating
C D
Every time Rosie sang that song
CHORUS
(Slow talking … Em )
G
Now when a whirlwind blew the dust away , You could see in the light that broke the day
Em G
Tumbleweed lay dead upon the ground
Em G
A rattle snake in his sleeping bag, Like the man in Rosies bed
Em G
Looks like the bad guys won this round
C D G Em
And tonight out on the desert, not a dried eye to be measured
C D Em
Cyotes howl and wolfs cry at the moon
C D G Em
And Even one eyed Jack is crying, as Rosies in the bedroom dying
C D
Cant even be saved by her own tomb
G C
Cowgirls need a little love sometime, but cowboys love to roam
D G D
Sleep out on that prairie all night long
G C
Cowgirls need a little love sometime, but cowboys love to roam
D G C D G
and Rosalee knows Tumbleweed aint never coming hooomeee
