[CHORUS:]
F#7
Only Josephine beyond compare
A E
To judge her just ain't fair
F#7
The only dream that's really there
A E
And she sits with shinning hair
A E
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Gmaj7/D F#m
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Bm
For they speak without no thought
E
And if their words had been confined
G
These men could not be taught"
B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
She's so true
[CHORUS:]

[VERSE 2:]
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
E G
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
It's her you long to be

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Gmaj7/D F#m Bm
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
E G
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
You know she does
