When I give you all my love please, please be true.
I`ll give you all I got to give, rings, pearls and all.
I`ll give you all I`ve got to give, rings, pearls and all.
I`ve got to get you together baby.
[Fill 2] x1
I`m sure, sure you`re gonna crawl.
[Guitar Solo] — Wish I could transcribe it! Sounds like a solo over E and
D on rhythm guitar
I can only tab the ending.
Repeat first section as necessary, then do the last bit.

I was a young man, I couldn`t resist
Started thinking it over, just what I had missed.
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh Lordy, well I did it again.
Now I got ten children of my own.
I got another child on the way, that makes eleven.
You know I`m in constant heaven.
I know it`s all right in my mind
I got a little schoolgirl and she`s all mine.
I can`t get through to her cause it doesn`t permit
Start hitting E [x7999x]
But I`m gonna give her everything I`ve got to give.
E E
Oh Rosie, oh girl
E E
Oh Rosie, oh girl
E E
Steal away now, steal away
E E
Steal away baby, steal away
E E
Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play.

Why don`t you come to me baby?
E E E
Steal away, all right, all right.
