[CHORUS:]
D7
Only Josephine beyond compare
F C
To judge her just ain't fair
D7
The only dream that's really there
F C
And she sits with shinning hair
F C
I found her waiting there
[VERSE 1:]
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
Well, I thought we all knew her like we all know rain and pain
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
I then heard voices talking of their right to be in vain
D#maj7/A# Dm
She said, "They don't know what they're saying
Gm
For they speak without no thought
C
And if their words had been confined
D#
These men could not be taught"
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
She's so true

[VERSE 2:]
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
To speak in terms of true and false she can't be understood
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
And yet I find myself describing her in terms of good
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
I stood to sing a song to her and then she made me see
C D#
There is no song to sing to her that is not sung to me
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
It's her you long to be

[VERSE 3:]
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
Josephine is crying and she's laughing while she does
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
No one needs to tell her who she is or who she was
D#maj7/A# Dm Gm
She's been through it all and you can see it in her eyes
C D#
And no one can tell Josephine that she don't realize
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
You know she does
