[Verse 2] But there was a time last summer When I came down from Manhattan And though I knew I shouldn’t it was just too hard And I made my move at Rosecrans Boulevard. [French Horn melody] e|--------8----5------| B|---3----------------| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| [Chorus] Rosecrans Boulevard Stop your calling me You know I never loved her any--way I just used her Over and over [Bridge] But there were times when she’d laugh And I think I loved her One night on Manhattan Beach I said things that moved too fast to suit her Then I held her close and dried her tears [French Horn melody] e|--------8----5------| B|---3----------------| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| [Chorus] Rosecrans Boulevard Who cares what you think The girl was half crazy The way she drove her little car Down Sunset Boulevard At three in the morning Doing ninety miles an hour in a thirty mile zone And blamed me when she got a ticket [Verse 3] But then there was that smile It was really what made all the airlines go She was a stewardess you know Shot down on a non-combatant mission And though I’ve hid it Every time I drive my car past Rosecrans Boulevard Bbm/Db Dsus2 I wonder why I did it. [End]
