1. Josie, it's been a long hard day,

E                                                  - D                                     A

    down the road to where it's at,        I must have lost my way.

                                          D                    A

    When I got there, they said I was too late,

              E                                                  A

    now you're the only one can get me straight.

 

                         - A                                          - D

    So won't you       sing me a rainbow, Josie,          roll me a song,

E                                                      D                           E

    just tonight make it right, 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long.

A                                                                   - D

    There's lots of shades of darkness, Josie,      deep inside a man,

E                                                A

    so sing me a rainbow if you can.

2. The train I went to meet had come and gone,

E                                                             D                    A

    seems like I spent all my time gettin' off and gettin' on.

                                     D                            A

    I sold my mind and gave my dreams away,

                 E                                                 A

    and tomorrow I'll start lookin' 'round for yesterday.

 

                        - A                                           - D

    But 'til then         sing me a rainbow, Josie,       roll me a song,

E                                                    D                            E

    just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long.

A                                                               - D

    There's lots of kinds of hunger, Josie,        you don't understand,

E                                                A                               A7

    so sing me a rainbow if you can, if you can, if you can.

E                                           A       - D - A

    Sing me a rainbow if you can !
