G          D           Em     /d      C         D        G      D
There is a young musician with an even younger face
G          D     Em  /d C             D        G      D
Aware of his position. He’s carved himself a place
C                        D                Hm      Em   /d             
A walking talking goldmine with fifty carat eyes
C                   Am                   D
Controls his teenage natiion with his style
 
G              D          Em   /d       C              D          G

With really good credentials, she’s so much class to spare
C              D            Hm                         Em    /d 
A smile that drives men crazy. A conversation queen
C                       Am         D
She was the rarest fossil ever seen
            C                           D                       G
And he says: Will you be my girl sweet Josephine?


Ebm                Cb                    Ab
Take me away to the beautiful day I remember
               Db                 Cb                       Gb
Hold me down, move me round, cool me down
Ebm                       Cb                          Ab
Wish I could stay from beginning of May to September
            Db               Ab                       Db         H
Hold me down, move me round, cool me down


Instrumental verse in “G”




G           Em  /d         C          D           G    D
Keep me brother happy, don’t grieve her at the door
G           D         Em  /d         C             D       G      D
And when you think you’re given, then give her even more
C                        D                  Hm                  Em   /d
And don’t forget the small things, they're not hard to do
C                Am               D
Keep your lover happy just for you
               C          D                       G
And he said: Will you be my girl sweet Josephine?
C              D               G
Will you be my girl sweet Josephine?
