[CHORUS:]
B7
Only Josephine beyond compare
D A
To judge her just ain't fair
B7
The only dream that's really there
D A
And she sits with shinning hair
D A
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Cmaj7/G Bm
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Em
For they speak without no thought
A
And if their words had been confined
C
These men could not be taught"
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
She's so true
[CHORUS:]
A B7
Only Josephine beyond compare

To judge her just ain't fair

The only dream that's really there
D A
And she sits with shinning hair
D A

[VERSE 2:]
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
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
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
It's her you long to be
[CHORUS:]

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Cmaj7/G Bm Em
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
E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
You know she does
[CHORUS:]
