Dm           Gm                         C                F   A7
Dreamt I was back with the pirates and cats of my sommerville
Dm                    Gm               C                 F  A7
The girl in the alphabet shirt covered in dirt lives on the hill

Well, my sweet Josephine, Are you still racing stray dogs
A             Bm
Across the old stream?
Em                           G            A       Dm/F  A7
My neighbourhood queen, Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

Dm                          Gm                   C
She stole my grandmother’s watch, a treasure to touch, to keep time to

Herself
Dm                       Gm                           C
Her mind was a very big house, we got lost there for hours until August

You say you’re alright, but Josie it’s time
Gm
You gotta get your feet on the ground
C                         Bb                       C
But she says: “No, don’t you see we have wings, It’s the funniest thing

it’s just that no ones knows”
