[CHORUS:]
A7
Only Josephine beyond compare
C G
To judge her just ain't fair
A7
The only dream that's really there
C G
And she sits with shinning hair
C G
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
A#maj7/F Am Dm
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
A#maj7/F Am Dm
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
A#maj7/F Am
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Dm
For they speak without no thought
G
And if their words had been confined
A#
These men could not be taught"
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
She's so true
[CHORUS:]

[VERSE 2:]
A#maj7/F Am Dm
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
A#maj7/F Am Dm
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
A#maj7/F Am Dm
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
G A#
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
It's her you long to be

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
A#maj7/F Am Dm
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
A#maj7/F Am Dm
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
A#maj7/F Am Dm
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
G A#
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
You know she does
