 Think I'll  up and move to  Canada
 Think I'll  begin  my story  there
 And if  the prime minister  says hes had enough
 Ill go  back to St.  Johnsberry  to breathe the air
 (switch to barre chords now on 5th and 7th fret)
 Thats  where I met a girl  called Josephine
They  call her  Josephine  the  Fair
 (back to open chords)
She  had Manch Vegas written  across her back
She  just cut  off all her hair
 (Back to barre chords)
We  shared a blanket by the tracks in lebanon  New Hampshire
I  never slept  a better  dream
 (Back to open chords)
But  i never felt more awake  in my life
 til i noticed  my jacket  was gone and so was josephine
josephine  josephine  josephine
how  come you aint  no where to be  seen
josephine  josephine  josephine
how  come how come  josephine?
soon  after she musta had a change  of heart
but  as the train  was catching up speed
like  seeing the moon in the middle of the day
i  felt like my feet were just gonna float away
when  i heard her yelling  "Chicoree"
 (switch to barre chords)
 she was takin  off the jacket  as she ran
 i said forget  the jacket just  gimme your  hand
 im gettin  off at the first stop up there in canada
i  can make you  happy there
 (Back to Open Chords)
she  said it would be a while
i  said i'll wait
she  said it could be a while
i  said i'll wait
keep  the jacket just bring  it to me someday
 (play open chords here minus Cm and B and F#)
did  you get caught in a cloud
 with the rain so loud
 that you couldn't  hear your up and down
 heart speak out
did  you go back to New Hampshire to stay?
did  they catch you at the border
 and send you to back down?
 should I give  up and stop lookin around
 but im still waitin  to this day
Josephine  Josephine
Josephine  Josephine  Josephine
How  come you aint  nowerhe to be  seen?
Josephine  Josephine  Josephine
How  come how  come
How  come how  come
Josephine  the fair
Josephine  the fair
Josephine  the fair
Josephine  the fair
