[CHORUS:]
E7
Only Josephine beyond compare
G D
To judge her just ain't fair
E7
The only dream that's really there
G D
And she sits with shinning hair
G D
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Fmaj7/C Em Am
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Fmaj7/C Em Am
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Fmaj7/C Em
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Am
For they speak without no thought
D
And if their words had been confined
F
These men could not be taught"
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A
She's so true
[CHORUS:]

[VERSE 2:]
Fmaj7/C Em Am
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Fmaj7/C Em Am
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Fmaj7/C Em Am
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
D F
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A
It's her you long to be

[VERSE 3:]
Fmaj7/C Em Am
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Fmaj7/C Em Am
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Fmaj7/C Em Am
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
D F
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A
You know she does
