[CHORUS:]
A#7
Only Josephine beyond compare
C# G#
To judge her just ain't fair
A#7
The only dream that's really there
C# G#
And she sits with shinning hair
C# G#
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Bmaj7/F# A#m
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
D#m
For they speak without no thought
G#
And if their words had been confined
B
These men could not be taught"
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D#
She's so true
[CHORUS:]
G# A#7
Only Josephine beyond compare

The only dream that's really there
C# G#
And she sits with shinning hair

[VERSE 2:]
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
G# B
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D#
It's her you long to be

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Bmaj7/F# A#m D#m
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
G# B
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D#
You know she does
[CHORUS:]
