This is what I have so far for My sister Rose, by 10,000 maniacs....

some of it may be wrong, I'm not sure, please post corrections, and I need
help with the chorus, as I cannot seem to figure it out... but I'll keep 
working on it.

G                 D  C  G
Big big plans are being made
G                 D  C  G
for my sister's wedding day
D            G
We'll have a ball
D              C
at the Sons of Roma hall 
C       D       C    D       G
Family, friends come one and all

 
first the best man makes a toast
to rocky and my sister rose
"a life of years,
free of tears
Bottoms up and lots of luck!"

 
{chorus:}
 
Polka tango, everyone
cha cha mambo rose and rock alone
frankie rizzo and his combo play on

 
single girls all hear the call
form a crowd at the back wall
and when the boquet flies
each one tries
to be the best catch and next years prize

 
Uncle sam and Uncle joe
take their places in a row
they're standing by
side to side
while dollar dances with the bride

 

chorus

He's a banker she'll be well off now

sister rose, take your mother's place
trade your home and your maiden name
for a list of vows 
and a veil of lace
made a wife of you today

 
Now they cut the five tier cake
"that Colucci, he can bake"
a frosted tower of suchar and flour
for the couple of the hour

chorus

she was born to wear that gown

sister rose, take your mother's place
trade your home and your maiden name
for a list of vows 
and a veil of lace
made a wife of you today
but you're my sister Rose the same.
