[CHORUS:]
C#7
Only Josephine beyond compare
E B
To judge her just ain't fair
C#7
The only dream that's really there
E B
And she sits with shinning hair
E B
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Dmaj7/A C#m
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
F#m
For they speak without no thought
B
And if their words had been confined
D
These men could not be taught"
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
She's so true

[VERSE 2:]
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
B D
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
It's her you long to be

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Dmaj7/A C#m F#m
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
B D
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
You know she does
