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