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