Josephine

C                       C7
ease me down josephine
     F                               C
got something that makes me want to stay
F                            C         Am
you know id never lead you blind or astray
F                       G7     C
just ease me down my sweet josephine

C                       C7
take me out in the yard
    F                      C
and lay me down half past eight
    F                           C              Am
go to the gardens through that bright colored gate
F                           G7
just ease your body next to mine

Chorus

C                               C7
its cigarettes and whiskey at dawn
F                       C
and apples and oranges at noon
        F                                   C       Am
yes its summertime in the city and we'll be leaving soon
   F                            G7
im going to carolina to rest my bones
