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
