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.
