Rosy & Mick

Anyone got the tabs and possibly the lyrics to Rosy & Mick?

I played it today for the first time in ages and I just adore it and wouldn't mind giving the ol' guitar a go and try to play it.

mick came home late last night
he drank enough beer to take the edge off a knife
then she opened the door
looking older than before
he said, "Rosie you're too good a girl"
ahhh hah ahhh hah

she let him in he lifted up her dress
like an apology he began to kiss her neck
then he felt much relief
as the ceiling fan tapped out a broken melody
ahhh hah ahhh hah

she said
do you remember when we were younger
bitter words were said
making up was always your favorite part
but i ain't young anymore and I'm sorry cannot mend
a broooooken heart

when he came back home he threw his things on the floor
she worked up the courage to say what she never had before
**forget this line**
he got that look in his eye
as the sun went shining on
ahhh hah ahhh hah

she said
do you remember when we were younger
bitter words were said
making up was always your favorite part
but i ain't young anymore and I'm sorry cannot mend
a broooooken heart

the judge knew well mick was a violent man
she got a few headlines he got a slap on the hand

and there ain't no villains and there ain't no heros
people on both sides of the tracks
trying to add up a hole bunch of zeros
but the time marches on
until it's all gone

she said
do you remember when we were younger
bitter words were said
making up was always your favorite part
but i ain't young anymore and I'm sorry cannot mend
a broooooken
a broooooooooooken heart

Thanks Kyle, you're a star.

BTW - coincidentally, there's a member over in Unedited that's also looking for this info. I was going to share but I think it is really for you to do the honours!
