Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

If you want to get technical on intro it is

arpeggios starting from the 3rd of the chord

over bass root note. The melody then goes up to C# which

resolves conveniently to D chord in Verse

In verse G A G A is the same but the arpeggios

are from the root

Verse 1

Rose Robert, I'd like to welcome you to our affair

We'll write a lovely little story, just you and I

As time goes by me and my Rose Robert

Verse 2

People stare when we walk arm in arm along the thoroughfare

The gentlemen don't know whether to bow their heads

Or tip their hats instead at me and Rose Robert

All of our days move so slow since we stopped

 And let the world go on without us

We haven't got a care, me and Rose Robert

First Chord is D bass and E G D within an octave

then F bass and E G D within an octave

I will call Em7/D or Dmsus2

or

You're delightful, mon cheri, it's so lovely

 When we wear each others clothes

 You draw on your mustache while I powder my nose

Josephine and Fanny don't compare to my Rose Robert

Verse 3

No key change same as 1 and 2

Rose Robert, together we make quite a remarkable pair

It doesn't seem strange somehow that we never speak

We just gurgle and squeak, me and my Rose Robert

Few will dare to offer any pleasantries or see how we fare

I guess they assume that we have lost our wits

But we're just a couple of misfits, me and my Rose Robert Rose Robert, hot chocolate clair
