Capo: 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
This is based of Frank's live performance at Glastonbury 2019, however it works with the studio recording
as well.
This is just the chords but he also uses a muted strumming pattern throughout most of the song as well as
hammer ons and offs here and there.

[Verse 1]
Sister CRosetta
God Fadd9mother of rock and Croll
The Fadd9original sister of Csoul
All our music was in Gher
She brought Crhythm
From the Fadd9darkness into the Clight
She brought the Fadd9good work to the Cnight
To save all our Gsinners
[Chorus]
Fadd9Rosetta Crolled her Geyes when she Cplayed
She Fadd9knew that Cstrange things Ghappen everyCday
And that the Fadd9white boy Chype would evGentually Cfade
But the Fadd9music she Am7played would Gremain
[Verse 2]
New York CCity
It was Fadd9nineteen thiry Ceight
The Fadd9radio couldn't Cwait for Rosetta to Grock it
Instant Csensation
And little Fadd9Elvis, Chuck and Johnny at Chome
Fadd9Heard her on the gramoCphone and they wouldn't forGget it
[Chorus]
Fadd9Rosetta Crolled her Geyes when she Cplayed
She Fadd9knew that Cstrange things Ghappen Ceveryday
And that the Fadd9white boy Chype would evGentually Cfade
But the Fadd9way that she Am7played would Gremain
Fadd9Rosetta's in the Am7hall of Gfame
[Bridge]
EmDon't let her Ambe forgotten in a Fadd9church in CArkansas
EmRemember her Amteaching the cotton Fadd9club, The Glory of the GLord
EmDon't let her Ambe forgotten, Fadd9Rosetta deserves Cmore
EmRemember her Amteaching a nation on a Fadd9train platform in England in 196G4
[Verse 3]
Sister CRosetta
Saw the Fadd9bright lights fade aCway
She Fadd9saw out the last of her Cdays in the suburbs of GPhilly
Down by the Criver
She still heard Fadd9music in the Cair
Up above aFadd9head and everyCwhere on a train bound for Gglory
[Chorus]
Fadd9Rosetta Crolled her Geyes when she Cplayed
She Fadd9knew that Cstrange things Ghappen everyCday
And that the Fadd9white boy Chype would Geventually Cfade
But the Fadd9way that she Am7played would Gremain
Fadd9Rosetta Crolled her Geyes when she Cplayed
She Fadd9knew that Cstrange things Ghappen Ceveryday
And that the Fadd9white boy Chype would Geventually Cfade
But the Fadd9way that she Am7played would Gremain
Fadd9Rosetta's in the Am7hall of Gfame
Fadd9Rosetta's in the Am7hall of Gfame
Fadd9Rosetta's in the Am7hall of Gfame
