Rosie the Bold

E A D
Rosie the Bold came riding
A E
Her silver sword a-shining
A E F#m
She wore a blood-red feather in her snow-white velvet cap
E A D
The full moon at her back
A E
Her satin cape was black
A E7 A
Rosie the Bold had come to take him back
E7 A D A E
The prison walls were high, the prison walls were dark
A E F#m E
The guards were armed and armored to the teeth
A D A E
Rosie lit a torch, Rosie raised her sword
A E7 A A7
Rosie the Bold said, "Stand aside, sir, if you please"
D A E F#m
Rosie the Bold was raised like you or me
E E7
Or anyone I know
D A E
But Rosie had a passion in her soul
F#m E F#m E
And it was her passion and her love that made her bold
A D
And the story's often told
A E
On a milk-white steed she rode
A E F#m E
Up to the prison gates, Rosie the Bold
A D
And in that fearful place
A E
Her silver sword she raised
F#m
And that's how she's remembered now and known
E A
Rosie the Bold
E A E A
She came to claim the man she loved, Rosie the Bold
E A D
And she reined up on the hill
A E
He was clinging to her still
A E F#m
She removed her mask and kissed him bold and plain
E A E A
Rosie the Bold had her man back again
E A
And away they ran
