Dm
She moves with machinery for the fancy sports car trade.
 C                       Gm                   Bb         Dm
Part of the industrial process: she sees that they stay made.
Dm
She works from early A.M.. They work her to the bone.
        C              Gm                         Bb               Dm
When I call her in the evening, she's too tired to lift the phone.
 

 F                                        C
Damned if I'll wait for her, and I'll be damned if I don't.
 Gm         Eb                                  F       Dm
Damned if I only see that Rosa on the factory floor.
 

 Dm
Signed on for the duration.  They say she came from the East.
 C                         Gm                            Dm
With her tool bag and her coveralls, to pay the rent at least.
  Dm
She doesn't talk with the workers on the rest of the line
    C            Gm                               Dm
and over in the canteen, she's alone most of the time.
 

 F                             C
Somewhere in her history is a lock without a key.
  Gm                   Eb                              F
She doesn't trust the management--and she won't trust me.
 F                                     C
We're two different animals.  We live jungles apart.
  Gm                    Eb                            F     Dm
She circles round her freedom and I circle round her heart.
