Josie, I won't fail ya. I won't fail you, have no fear
G              C    G                    D                  G
Josie, I won't fail ya. Give me one more chance, the day is near

G                    C    G                D                 G
The meadows they are bursting - the yellow corn lies in your hand
G                        C  G                  D                  G
And with the night comes sorrow as the tide of dawn sleeps on the land

G                    C   G                D            G
The long breezes are blowing all down the sky into my face
G                    C   G                     D                G
I've a weary kind of feeling, like my time has come and gone to waste

G                   C  G                D                 G
I love you, darling Josie. The trees of pine they grow so tall
G                    C    G                  D          G
How come you came to love me when you didn't love me at all?

G              C    G                D            G
Josie, I won't fail ya. I won't fail you, have no fear
G              C    G                    D                  G
Josie, I won't fail ya. Give me one more chance, the day is near

G                C     G               D          G
My Josie looks a child now as she lies here on my breast
G                    C     G           D            G
In the night I think about her. In the day I get no rest

G                C    G                  D            G
I cut me a young pine-cone and I gave it to the river deep
G                      C  G             D               G
It sailed 'way by your window where you lay, so long in sleep

G                      C  G                       D                  G
God bless you, darling Josie, with your sparklin' eyes so bright and clear
G              C    G                D            G
Josie, I won't fail ya, I won't fail you, have no fear

G              C    G                D            G
Josie, I won't fail ya. I won't fail you, have no fear
G              C    G                    D                  G
Josie, I won't fail ya. Give me one more chance, the day is near
