Josie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Just got a letter [D]from
Josie this [C]morning[G]
Had to [D]read between the [C]lines
She was [G]sitting all [F]alone,
gazing [C]through wooden [G]blinds
She folded up [D]her hands and she was [F]crying

[Verse 2]
[G]Wearing the[D] same old mournful smi[C]le[G]
For [D]an old love, God [C]knows where
All the [G]children,
they [F]laugh at the [C]old woman as [G]she passes
With old- fashioned [D]clothes
and tape- mended [F]glasses

[Verse 3]
[G]Josie, [C]Josie, hold on for [Am]me
[Bm]Com in' from Calif[D]ornia to b[C]e with you,
[G]Josie
The world holds no love for a
[C]driftin' boy like [Am]me
[Bm]Travellin' fast [D]on God's wind to be with you,

[Interlude 1]
Josie
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
Remember the [D]garden you once [C]walked[G]
To put [D]your troubled mind [C]at ease
Well, it [G]is gone now to [F]buildings,
they even [C]took the Cypress [G]tree
The cinders take [D]the place of fallen [F]leaves

[Verse 5]
[G]We'll spend tim[D]e out there tal[C]kin'[G]
You know [D]I'd love to fix you [C]tea
I could tell [G]you of [F]people,
all the [C]places I got [G]to see
[D]Josie, hold on [F]please

[Verse 6]
[G]Josie, [C]Josie, hold on for [Am]me
[Bm]Comin' from Cali[D]fornia to [C]be with you,
[G]Josie
The world holds no love for a
[C]driftin' boy like [Am]me
[Bm]Travellin' fast [D]on God's wind

[Interlude 2]
to be with you, Josie
[C][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Josie, Josie, hold [C]on [Am]for me
[Bm]Comin' from Cali[D]fornia

[Outro 1]
to be with you Josie
[C][G][C][Am]
