Josie Chords by Kris Kristofferson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
[G] Even though I didn't know it [D] at the time _
And I followed her from Texas till she found me undone
Just a [G] jump ahead of what I'd left [D] behind
She _ _ _ was proud of her young body as a body could be
Only [G] way to be a woman of the [D] world
And I still can see her smiling as she [C] gave [D] it to me
[G] Looking like a lonesome little [D] girl _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Josie is it true [D] that you grow harder than your years? _
_ _ [A] _ Selling them your [G] sadness on [D] the street _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] How much did you lose between [D] the laughter and the tears?
_ _ [A] _ Getting back the [G] better for [D] the sweet _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Will she love me back to living at a time I [D] was lost
[G] With the closest thing to love I've [D] ever known
_ She led me through some bridges [G] I was burning to cross
And she went and burned some bridges [D] of her own
_ _ _ _ _ Now the roads a little colder [G] every time that I leave
For another empty place I've [D] never been
And I don't suppose it's like her [G] that's here looking for me
Someday I'll maybe chase her [D] down again _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Josie is it true [A] that you [D] grow harder than your years?
_ _ [A] _ Selling them [G] your sadness _ [D] on the street _ _ _
_ _ [G] How much did you lose between [D] the laughter _ and the tears?
_ _ [A] _ Getting [G] back the better for [D] the sweet _ _ _
