Get Rosetta On The Phone

Gene Pitney


Tom: G

G                           D
No, no, no, no, no, please say it isn’t so
                             G
Say it isn’t me your taking to that cell below
                G7            C                 Am
God what have I done? Why I’d have to fire that gun
G                 D7               G
Tell her one last thing before I go

G
Get Rosetta on the phone, 
                                     D7
Tell her I’m not coming home for a long, long time
See I had a drink or two when she told me we were through
      G
Then I guess I lost my mind
           C                D7              Bm              E
I shot him down, I couldn’t bare to let him take your love away
         Am             D7
Just get Rosetta on the phone,
             Am                  D7            C   G  Am  G 
Tell her I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today

I know we cannot be, but if I were only free
I’d prove to my Rosetta there’s no better man than me
Now I cannot sleep at night cause I took a good man’s life
And left the one I love in misery

Get Rosetta on the phone, 
She’ll be sitting all alone where the roses (?)
And will tell that little girl, if I could I’d give the world
To turn back the hands of time
And if she said she really loved me then I gladly stand away
Get Rosetta on the phone,
Say I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today
