[VERSE 1]
[Am]I was born a [C]poor boy on the [F]poorer side of [C]town
[Am]Mama passed when [C]I was young and [F]papa never hung a[G]round
So [Am]I was raised by a [C]cold cruel man my [F]mama used to call him [C]pa
He [Am]beat this boy till [C]Josephine ran him [G]down with his own [C]car
We [Am]gathered all our [C]trinkets and we [F]left this place be[C]hind
[Am]Josephine had [C]heard about a [F]place that frees your [G]mind
We [Am]drove along those [C]country roads till we [F]met Jeremiah [C]Finn
He [Am]said he wore a [C]golden coat; sal[G]vation lay with[C]in
[CHORUS]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, let's [E]ride until we're [Am]free
The [F]love we have will [C]do for gaso[G]line [G]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, won't you [E]tell me what you [Am]mean
when you [F]say that this will [G]be our final [Am]scene [Am]
Oh Jose[G]phine
[VERSE 2]
As [Am]Jeremiah [C]wove his web his [F]words they rang so [C]true
I've [Am]known the tongues of [C]evil men and the [F]way they split in [G]two
If [Am]it was up to [C]me my dear we'd [F]leave this place to[C]night
[Am]Fire up that [C]Oldsmobile and [G]drive into the [C]night
With [Am]every month that [C]passes we [F]lose a little [C]more
But [Am]all that I keep [C]hearing is we're [F]closer to God's [G]door
So [Am]many of God's [C]children have been [F]blessed by father [C]Finn
That [Am]golden coat he [C]talked about has [G]touched them deep with[C]in
[CHORUS]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, let's [E]ride until we're [Am]free
The [F]love we have will [C]do for gaso[G]line [G]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, won't you [E]tell me what you [Am]mean
when you [F]say that this will [G]be our final [Am]scene [Am]
Oh Jose[G]phine

[VERSE 3]
Now the [Am]midday sun is [C]beating down and the [F]drinks they cool our [C]brow
As [Am]Josephine lays [C]next to me I [F]see it clearly [G]now
She [Am]says she sees the [C]golden gate des[F]cribed by father [C]Finn
but [Am]all I see is the [C]Oldsmobile and the [G]rust that's setting [C]in
[OUTRO]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, you were the [E]sweetest thing I'd [Am]seen
and the [F]love we had it [C]burned like kero[G]sene [G]
Oh Jose[F]phine, Jose[C]phine, now I [E]know just what you [Am]mean
when you [F]say that this will [G]be our final [Am]scene [Am]
