C7
Only Josephine beyond compare
D# A#
To judge her just ain't fair
C7
The only dream that's really there
D# A#
And she sits with shinning hair
D# A#
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
C#maj7/G# Cm
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Fm
For they speak without no thought
A#
And if their words had been confined
C#
These men could not be taught"
F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
She's so true
[CHORUS:]

The only dream that's really there

[VERSE 2:]
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
A# C#
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
It's her you long to be

[VERSE 3:]
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
C#maj7/G# Cm Fm
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
A# C#
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
You know she does
