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
