David Allan Coe – Rings Around Rosie

Chorus:
G                          C
Don’t mention Rings Around Rosie
G                         D
She won’t play that game again
G                         C
It’s gonna take more than posies
    G        D         G
For Rosie to trust any man.

G              C
Rosie tends to judge all men
D                    G
By what one fool has done
                     C
She’s payin’ for her big mistake
    D                   G
She says that games’ no fun.

Chorus:

G            C
I know Rosie loves me 
         D               G
And I’ll ask her for her hand
               C
But not today, she’d run away
D                       G
Her heart needs time to mend.

G              C
She’ll be mine given time
     D                     G
If I jump the gun we’ll be through
                      C
I love that girl with all my heart
D                     G
That’s why I’m askin’ you.

Chorus:

         G                  C
When the time is right I’ll ask her
         D          G
She gave up on matrimony
                  C
She needs time to find out
D             G
My love isn’t phoney.

Chorus:

G                             C
You say you’re just tryin’ to help me

    D                        G
You say you don’t mean to be nosey
                              C
If what you say is true, then I’m beggin’ you  
D                          G
Don’t mention Rings Around Rosie.

G                             C
If what you say is true, then I’m beggin’ you
      D                       G
Don’t mention no Rings Around Rosie.
