The chords were worked out by Marc. This song was also covered by singer / songwriter Isla Grant [ lyrics ] .
[D]Old Rosie Atkinson live all alone In her [A]house at the end of our [D]street She wears an old hat with a long silver pin And [A]faded blue shoes on her [D]feet And a [A]long flowery dress that [D]must have looked nice On the [A]day her love marched a[D]way To fight in the war- to end all the wars In a [A]cold land so [A7]far, far a[D]way
Chorus [G]Rosie, he’s gone now, he’s [D]not coming home now [A]Like all those lonely young [D]men The [G]fathers and brothers, the [D]sons and the lovers They’ve [E]fallen like leaves in the [A]wind
Now the [D]war has long passed, he never returned The [A]years have now faded her [D]eyes But the love in her heart is as warm and as strong As it [A]was when he made her his [D]bride. [A]In Flanders’ fields where [D]red poppies grow From the [A]hearts of many young [D]men There sleeps Rosie’s lover of long, long ago She [A]never did [A7]see him a[D]gain
Chorus
Now [D]old Rosie Atkinson lives all alone In her [A]house at the end of our [D]street And the children make fun of her long flowery dress And the [A]faded blue shoes on her [D]feet Thought they [A]laugh and the jibe at her [D]funny old ways She [A]seems not to hear, not to [D]see She just dreams of the love she was never to know And the [A]times that were [A7]never to [D]be
