D#7
Only Josephine beyond compare
F# C#
To judge her just ain't fair
D#7
The only dream that's really there
F# C#
And she sits with shinning hair
F# C#
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Emaj7/B D#m
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
G#m
For they speak without no thought
C#
And if their words had been confined
E
These men could not be taught"
G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G#
She's so true

[VERSE 2:]
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
C# E
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G#
It's her you long to be

[VERSE 3:]
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Emaj7/B D#m G#m
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
C# E
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4 G#
You know she does
