[Verse 1]

G
Hey there all you wild and pretty women where’d you go when the
C
wind’ll blow hard, and the dust will set'll low
D
storm’s coming in so I guess you better get up and go
G


[Verse 2]

            G
Back to the lonely deserts westward outta Hillster Arizona
C
where the girls’ll treat yah friendly sure, but only if you wanna
D
steal a ride from the riverboat captain tonight
G


[Chorus]

C                    G
Hey, hey, hey, there rose
D                                            G
did you think I’d come, all this way in vain


[Verse 3]

    G
The weather’s getting hotter, but I stop to see the light and I
C
think I might pull over just to stop here, for the night
D
I see yah coming up, and I know she won’t give me a fight
G


[Verse 4]

         G
And so I start to make my move I splash my face up with some water and she
C
tries to pull me off but then it only makes me hotter
D
hey there rose, can you spare some change for the night
G


[Chorus]

C                    G
Hey, hey, hey, there rose
D                                            G
did you think I’d come, all this way in vain
C
drive, drive, down
       G           D/F#      Em
to the center of a coal mine town
C                    D                      G
wash your face and, change your frame of mind
C
and hard, hard, times
           G              D/F#             Em
you better stow away your nickels and your dimes
C             D                  G
throw a rope around, a big oak tree

[Verse 5]

  G
I see you in the rear view as I start to drive away while she
C
wipes away the teardrops, I thought I heard her say I
D
think I’d be shooting you down if you won't be mine


[Verse 5]

          G
So I said darling don’t you worry I’ll be back your way again when the
C
sun goes round the mountains and the moon goes round the bend just
D
give it a while and everything is gonna be alright
G


[Chorus]

    C                    G
And Hey, hey, hey, there rose
D                                            G
