Josie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Josie went to the bar room,
ordered up a glass of beer,
Said, tell me the truth, [C]bartender,
has my true love been [G]here?
He's my [D]man,
but he ain't come [G]home.
I ain't gonna tell you no secrets,
I ain't gonna tell you no lies,
But I saw your man a [C]while ago,
and I couldn't believe my [G]eyes.
He's your [D]man,
but he won't come [G]home.
Josie drank her beer,
ordered up a glass of gin.
Said it ain't a shame, [C]bartender,
I'm taking the drink again.
[G]Cause he's my [D]man,
but he won't come [G]home.
Josie went down the street,
revolver in her hand,
Saying,
Stand back, gents and [C]ladies,
I'm looking for my [G]man,
He's my [D]man,
but he won't come [G]home.
Josie saw her lover,
and her revolver drew,
Then
Josie pulled the [C]trigger,
shot him through and [G]through,
He was her [D]man,
but he wouldn't come [G]home.
One thing hurt
Miss
Josie, one thing made her cry.
Standing there in the [C]jailhouse doors,
the hearse came rolling [G]by.
He was her [Eb]man,
[D]but he won't come [G]home.
Sitting in the parlor by an electric fan,
Pleadin' with our [C]sister,
don't marry a gamblin' [G]man
He'll be your [D]man, but he won't come [G]home
