Biography:
The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

[Intro]
G Bb A G# x4

G E7
She said "I'm Rosie"

I said "I thought you were Rose"
D7
She said "No Rosie, I told you so"
G E7
Was here with your sister
A7
But she's going out the back
D7
I was up dancin' and have fun y'know
G E7 A7
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it's here
D7
And I'm freaking out
G E7
I heard you got a brand new name
A7
Selling Es in the dark
A7
But hey it's nothing to shout about
[Pre-Chorus]

G E7
I wouldn't move if I was you
A7 D7
I wouldn't wanna caught when the lights go out

She said "You're so special"

I said "Oh, I'm just just bored I'm just checking out"
