Verse
C F
In a bar room in Belfast, into his pint glass,
C G
Jack Campbell he sang as last orders were called.
C F
The bar stool was his mustang, he swayed as his wife sang,
C G C
at the gunfire that rang around the O.K. Corrall
C F
Her name was Anita, he called her Rosalita,
C G
when the beer and the whiskey it went to his head.
C F
To him she's whisper "let's take a wee dander,
C G C
to where we'll be cosy in our little homestead".
[Chorus]
F C
When the sun goes behind the black mountain,
G C
street demons come out to dance.
F C
And cowboys who sing about gunfights and Indians,
G F C
against sub-machine guns they haven't a chance.
[Verse 2]
C F
As homeward they rambled, Rosalita and Jack Campbell
C G
called in to their local fast-food takeaway.
C F
As they danced round the chippie, singing yippee-aye-yippee
C G C
the crowd in the queue answered Yippe-aye-yay!
C F
Till a car it came cruising, seeking a victim,
C G
Jack turned in confusion when he saw the gun.
C F
His last word was "Jesus..." the trigger was squeazed
C G C
Jack fell to his knees and the car it was gone.
[Chorus]
F C
When the sun goes behind the black mountain,
G C
street demons come out to dance.
F C
And cowboys who sing about gunfights and Indians,
G F C
against sub-machine guns they haven't a chance.
[Verse 3]
C F
The years passed over, behind her closed door,
C G
Anita she sank into Prozac and gin.
C F
Her nights and her days spent in a haze
C G C
down the lonesome road thinking what might have been.
C F C
Rosalita, the dark senorita, still waiting to hear
C G
from Jack Campbell her man.
C F
He whispers to her "let's ride into the sunset"
C G C
Heaven's only one step from the old Rio Grande
[Chorus]
F C
When the sun goes behind the black mountain,
G C
street demons come out to dance.
F C
And cowboys who sing about gunfights and Indians,
G F C
against sub-machine guns they haven't a chance.
[Verse 4]
F C
And way out beyond the black mountain,
G C
Rosalita and Jack Campbell dance,
F C
Where troubles and old songs are forgotten and gone,
G F C
And dreamers still hold onto love and romance.
