Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Rosy sits inside a bar
Smoking a large man's cigar
In a place called Sammy's
on Amsterdam [D]Avenue
She [G]doesn't [A]look a day
over sixty -five
Although she's really twenty -nine
She likes records from the sixties
They remind her of the good old [D]times
And [G]after some wine and [Em]scotch
Rosie [G]starts to let it hang [Em]out
Throws the [G]glass at the mirror
And [Em]asks Big Max for a [A]pen
She writes [D]a letter to the Vatican
I'm gonna write a let[G]ter to him
[D]Dear Pope, send me some soap
And a bottle of Bom[G]bay [D]gin
A letter to the Vatican,
I thought I'd write a let[G]ter to [D]him
Dear Pope, send me some hope
or a rope to do [G]me in
And [D]no one stops [Em]her, we all lend [D]a h[C]and
We all knew [G]her before she got [Em]this [C]mad
We just [G]hold her until the
[D]shaking stops
Because [Em]her heart says
what [D]only the heart [G]knows
Because [D]her [Em]heart says
what [D]only the [G]heart [D]knows[A]
I wanna hear some Diana Ross
I want to hear a little bit of Marvin Gaye
I want to hear a song
that reminds me of a bad ass day
[D]Ros[G]ie Sli[A]ck tries to stand up
She slices a pretty girl in the mouth
And running to the jukebox
She tries to put a quarter [D]in
She says, [G]I've had enough of [D]you [Em]men
And I'll [G]never say yes [Em]again
It's [G]His holiness or [Em]noth
ing for me in [A]this life
So she writes [D]a letter to the Vatican
I'm gonna write a let[G]ter to [D]Him
Dear Pope, send me some soap
and a bottle of Bom[G]bay [D]gin[G][D]
A letter to the Vatican,
I'm gonna write a let[G]ter to [D]him
Dear Pope, send me some hope
or a rope to [G]tune me in
And [D]no one [Em]stops her, we all lend [D]a h[C]and
See, we all [G]knew her before
she got this [C]mad
We just [Em]hold [G]her until
the [D]shaking stops
Because [Em]the heart says
what only [D]the heart [G]knows
Because [D]the [Em]heart says
what only [D]the heart [G]knows
Because [D]the [Em]heart says
what [D]only the [G]heart knows
Because [D]the [Em]heart says
what [D]only the [G]heart knows
Because [D]the [Em]heart says
what [D]only the [G]heart knows
Because [D]the [Em]heart says
what [D]only the [G]heart knows
[D][Em][D][G][D][Em]
