Chorus: 
G                          C 
Don’t mention Rings Around Rosie 
G                         D 
She won’t play that game again 
G                         C 
It’s gonna take more than posies 
    G        D         G 
For Rosie to trust any man. 
 
G              C 
Rosie tends to judge all men 
D                    G 
By what one fool has done 
                     C 
She’s payin’ for her big mistake 
    D                   G 
She says that games’ no fun. 
 
Chorus: 
 
G            C 
I know Rosie loves me  
         D               G 
And I’ll ask her for her hand 
               C 
But not today, she’d run away 
D                       G 
Her heart needs time to mend. 
 
G              C 
She’ll be mine given time 
     D                     G 
If I jump the gun we’ll be through 
                      C 
I love that girl with all my heart 
D                     G 
That’s why I’m askin’ you. 
 
Chorus: 
 
         G                  C 
When the time is right I’ll ask her 
         D          G 
She gave up on matrimony 
                  C 
She needs time to find out 
D             G 
My love isn’t phoney. 
 
Chorus: 
 
G                             C 
You say you’re just tryin’ to help me 
 
    D                        G 
You say you don’t mean to be nosey 
                              C 
If what you say is true, then I’m beggin’ you   
D                          G 
Don’t mention Rings Around Rosie. 
 
G                             C 
If what you say is true, then I’m beggin’ you 
      D                       G 
Don’t mention no Rings Around Rosie.
