Josephine chords by Joey + Rory


Joey + Rory Chords

(Capo on 2)

Intro.:  (D) x 4 bars

I'm (D)writing this letter, my darling, from high on the hill
We've been marching ten days and we're just outside Hopkins-(A)ville
It's been (D)snowing all night and we (D7)ain't got no more kero-(G)-sene
It's (D)colder than hell, hope (A)you're doin' well, Jo-(D)-sephine

There's a (D)fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight
We done lost old Calvin, Beaver won't make it through the (A)night
I (D)hope I heard the captain say (D7) it's the worst he's ever (G)seen (G/B)
I'm (D)losin' some weight but I'm still (A) standin' up straight, Jo-(D)-sephine

(Chorus)
Tell my (G)children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more
Bet (D)they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the (A)door
Tell (G)mama and daddy I'm alright and just want one more thing
I (D)love you, I love you, I (A)love you, Jose-(D)phine |(D)(A)

There's (D)three thousand union troops camped at the river below
There's six hundreds of us, least there was two nights (A)ago
When (D)Erwin deserted they (D7) hung him down by (G)the tree
(D)God I'm so scared, keep (A)me in your prayers, Jo-(D)sephine

Well, the (D)orders come down, we'll attack tonight at nightfall
If we can stop 'em right here we can win this war once and (A)for all
You know, (D)I killed a union boy (D7)last week, bet he wasn't (G)fourteen
He looked (D)just like our son, for-(A)give me for what I've done, Jo-(D)sephine

(Chorus)
Tell my (G)children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more
Bet (D)they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the (A)door
Tell (G)mama and daddy I'm alright and just want one more thing
I (D)love you, I love you, I (A) love you, Jose-(D)phine 

And (D)lastly my darling, in case I should be killed
Don't breathe me too long, promise me that you (A) will
(D)Marry another, (D)7 don't let him treat our (G)babies mean
When (D)he's holding you, would you (A)think of me too, Jo-(D)-sephine

(Chorus)
Tell my (G)baby I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more
Bet (D)they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the (A)door
Tell (G)mama and daddy I'm alright and just want one more thing
I (D)love you, I love you, I (A) love you, Jose-(D)phine (G) 
I (D)love you, I love you, I (A) love you, Jose-(D)phine

Outro.:  |(D) | x repeat times to fade
