[Bridge 1]
Now, [G]I know your mama, she don't like me,
'cause I [Dm]play in a rock and roll band
And [Am]I know your daddy, he don't dig me,
but he [Em]never did understand
Your papa [G]lowered the boom,
he locked you in your room,
I'm [Dm]comin' to lend a hand
I'm comin' [Am]to liberate you, confiscate you,
I [Em]want to be your man
Someday we'll [F]look back on this
and [G]it will all seem [C]funny[Em]
But [Am]now you're sad, your m[F]ama's mad
And your [G]papa says he knows
that I don't (have any money)
Your papa says he knows
(that I don't have...)
Oh, so your daddy says he knows
I don't have (any...)
Well, tell him [Dm]this is his last chance
to get his [Bb]daughter in a fine ro[F]mance
Because a [G]record company,
Ro[G]sie,
just gave [G]me a big [G]advance

[Verse 4]
And my [C]tires [F]were slashed
and I [C]al [G]most crashed,
but the [C]Lord had [F]mercy[C]
[G]And my ma[C]chine, she's [F]a dud,
out [C]stuck in [G]the mud
some[C]where in [F]the swamps of [C]Jersey[G]
Well, [C]hold on [F]tight, [C]stay up [G]all night,
'cause [C]Ro sie, [F]I'm comin' on [C]strong[G]
By the [C]time [F]we meet the [C]morning [G]light,
I will [C]hold you [F]in my [C]arms[G]
I know a [F]pretty little place
in Southern California,
down [Em]San Diego w[Am]ay
There's a [G]little cafe,
where they play [F]guitars all night and all day
You can [Em]hear them
in the back [Am]room strummin'
So [G]hold tight, baby,
'cause [G]don't you know daddy's [G]comin'
[G]Oh, [G]everybody, so![G]

[Chorus 3]
Rosa[C]lita, [F]jump a little [G]lighter
Seño[C]rita, [F]come sit by [G]my fire
I just [C]want to be your [F]love, ain't no [G]lie
Rosa[C]lita, you're [F]my stone de[G]sire
