Mam[G]a pyjama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police s[C]tation


When the [D]cop found out, he began to shout, he started the invest[G]igation


And it's against the [D]law, it was against the l[G]aw


What what mama [D]saw, it was against the l[G]aw


Mama looked down and spit on the ground ever time her name gets mentioned


The cop said oy, if I get that boy


I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention


Well I'm on my wa[C]y, I don't know w[G]here I'm goin'


I'm on my [C]way, takin' my [G]time, but I d[A]on't know w[D]here


Goodbye to R[C]osie, the queen of Co[G]rona


Seein' me and Ju[F]lio d[C]own by the sch[D]ooly[G]ard


Seein' me and Ju[F]lio d[C]own by the sch[D]ooly[G]ard


(Instrumental break)


In a couple of days they're gonna take me away


When the press let the story leak


Now when the radical breach comes to get me released


Appears all on the cover of Newsweek


And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'


But I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where


Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona


Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard


Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard


Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Intro: A D | A E | A D | A E |


[A]Mama Pajama rolled out of bed


and she ran to the police [D]station


When the [E]papa found out he began to shout


and that's what started the investi[A]gation[D]


But it's against the l[E]aw, it was against the [A]law


What the mama [E]saw, was against the [A]law


Well the mama looks down and she spit on the ground


Every time my name gets mentioned


And the papa says "Oy, when I get that boy


I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"


And I'm on my [D]way, I don't know [A]where I'm going


I'm on my [D]way, takin' my t[A]ime but I d[B]on't know w[E]here


Goodbye to R[D]osie, Queen of [A]Corona


See you, [A]me, and [G]Julio [D]down by the [E]school[A]yar[D]d


See you, [A]me, and [G]Julio [D]down by the [E]school[A]yard

In a couple of days they come and take me away


But the press let the story leak


And when the radical priest come and get me released


We's all on the cover of Newsweek.


And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going


I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where


Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona


See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard


See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard


Note:  intro pattern can be played using a D6 instead of D.  If so,


play the intro as follows.


A = |x07655|


D6= |xx7777|


E = |xxx454|


This song also works well if one guitar plays in A as described and


the other capos 2 and plays in G.
