Thin Lizzy - "Rosalie" Mercury Records Ltd. B.Seger/Lynott/Downey ------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By: Leanne Harte (gharte21@hotmail.com) This song was originally recorded by Bob Seger but made famous by Thin Lizzy and they do a really good version so I decided to tab it. Hopefully this works out OK as it is my first tab. Any comments or questions feel free to email me at the address above. Thanks. h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend string up r - release bend / - slide up \ - slide down v - vibrato x - muted (u) - Upstrokes (d) - Downstrokes INTRO: -------- This riff is used throughout the song. When playing this riff, I keep the shape of the A and then add on my 3rd and 4th finger. When I play the A shape, I just play the power chord of A using one finger.

After the chorus you go right back into the verse, but this time without the little intro before it. In other words the singing starts straight away here. BRIDGE: -------- A E A E D A D A D A E Down on me, Rosalie, Shine on me will you please... SOLO: ------ Then the solo comes in. I haven't yet tabbed the solo, but I do know it's played mostly in the 17th fret and around there. When I work it out I'll post it up, or if anyone else knows it please do. Well that's pretty much the song. I have left out a part in the middle that Thin Lizzy do live, I haven't tabbed that bit yet either, but it's mostly bass as far as I know. Just before I finish up I'll just put down where to play what. Hopefully it helps. ROSALIE - LAYOUT ----------------- INTRO VERSE INTRO VERSE 1 PRE-CHORUS CHORUS VERSE 2 PRE-CHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE SOLO VERSE 3 At this point I play the pre chorus and chorus again and then finish but as I said before there's another bit which I haven't tabbed and I think that comes in next. But you can work it out for yourself if you listen to the cd.
