Why Didn''t Rosemary
(Blackmore/Evans/Lord/Simper)
From "Deep Purple", 1969
Gm (no 3rd)

There''s a black hill




We had a climb




Everything I need but nothing''s mine



Cm (no 3rd)

Satan''s world, I''ve had a kill



Gm (no 3rd)

Why didn''t Rosemary ever take the pill?



Dm C

Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill



Bb Am D

Oh man won''t do it, but the devil will




Gm (no 3rd) F D7+9




Gm (no 3rd)

I''m losing time and my mind




Why can''t I ever have what''s naturally mine?



Cm (no 3rd)

I got life and the things that go with it



Gm (no 3rd)

If there''s something else, where can i get it?



Dm C

Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill


Bb Am D

Oh man won''t do it, but the devil will




Gm (no 3rd) F D7+9




Gm (no 3rd)

Well here''s my views, I always lose



Things I want to do are yesterday''s news


Cm (no 3rd)

Say life''s a ball, I''ve had it all



Gm (no 3rd)

Out there in another dance hall


Dm C

Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill


Bb Am D

Oh man won''t do it, but the devil will




Gm (no 3rd) F D7+9




Gm (no 3rd)

Take me as I am, an excuse for a man




Wherever I push someone stops my hand



Cm (no 3rd)

As a matter of interest, tell me if you will



Gm (no 3rd)

Why didn''t Rosemary ever take the pill?
