[CHORUS:]
G#7
Only Josephine beyond compare
B F#
To judge her just ain't fair
G#7
The only dream that's really there
B F#
And she sits with shinning hair
B F#
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
Amaj7/E G#m
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
C#m
For they speak without no thought
F#
And if their words had been confined
A
These men could not be taught"
C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
She's so true

[VERSE 2:]
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
F# A
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
It's her you long to be

La la la, etc.

Ooh ma ma ma, etc.
[VERSE 3:]
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
Amaj7/E G#m C#m
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
F# A
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
You know she does
[CHORUS:]
