[Verse 1]
F G C
My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
F G C
You wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
F G C
Compared to last time I look like I've hit the skids
F G
Living in the projects with my two little kids
F C
It's not what I would have chosen
G C
Now you have to call me Rose
[Verse 2]
F G C
I was the boss of bosses the last time around
F G C
I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
F G C
The suckers said they'd stand behind me right or wrong
F G
As if they thought that hubris was the mark of the strong
F C
I was an arrogant man
F C
But now I've got it in hand
F C
It’s not what I would have chosen
G C
Now you have to call me Rose
[Chorus]
F C
Call me Rose
F C
Call me Rose
F C
It’s not what I would have chosen
G C
Now you have to call me Rose
[Verse 3]
F G C
My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
F G C
You wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
F G C
I'm back here learning what it is to be poor
F C G
To have no power but the strength to endure
[Chorus]
F C
I'll perform my penance well
F C
Maybe the memoir will sell
F C
It's not what I would have chosen
G C
Now you have to call me Rose
G C
Now you have to call me Rose
F G C
My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
