F7
Only Josephine beyond compare
G# D#
To judge her just ain't fair
F7
The only dream that's really there
G# D#
And she sits with shinning hair
G# D#
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
F#maj7/C# Fm
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
A#m
For they speak without no thought
D#
And if their words had been confined
F#
These men could not be taught"
A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A#
She's so true
[CHORUS:]
D# F7
Only Josephine beyond compare
G# D#
To judge her just ain't fair
F7
The only dream that's really there
G# D#
And she sits with shinning hair
G# D#

[VERSE 2:]
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
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# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A#
It's her you long to be
[CHORUS:]

La la la, etc.
Cm G C/A# Abdim7 G# D#
Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
F#maj7/C# Fm A#m
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# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A#
You know she does
[CHORUS:]
