                   INTRO:A   A7   G7  ( Dm  D )
   D                             D
    Hope you don't mind that I'm singin',
          D                      A
           but yesterday made me glad.
           A                     A
            It said tomorrow was bringin'
          G7                     D
            the best girl I ever had.

         D                       D
          You see she wrote me a letter;
      D                          A
       she said how lonely she's been.
A                                A
 She said she's sure she'll feel better
          G7                   ( Dm ...
            when we're together again.

                     D )         G
         You know, I could be mistaken,
             G                   D
              but I believe if I were
          D                      A
           to be engaged in love-makin,
      G7                         D      D7
        I'd like to make it with her.

CHORUS:
         G                         Em7 
         Not too long from now, if they remember how,
         G7                      D 
      my arms'll hold that girl again!
         A                  F#m7
         In a day or so, my skin is gonna know
         A7                        D
just how much her touch can do for skin!
         G                    Em7
         Just a couple days before my eyes can gaze
         G7                             G
        upon the sweetest sight they've seen!
         A                     A7
         In a little while, my lips are gonna smile
         G7                   D
from the bliss of kissin' Josephine!


               If I remember correctly,
     it's been two years to the day
       since Josephine went and left me,
           since Josephine went away.

        Then when she set out to roamin'
       I thought she'd always be gone,
        but lookin' back on that moment,
      looks like I might've been wrong,

    'cause now she says that she wants me
                to be her lover again.
   She thinks someday things may once be
    just like they were way back when.

CHORUS:
         Not too long from now, if they remember how,
      my arms'll hold that girl again!
         In a day or so, my skin is gonna know
just how much her touch can do for skin!
         Just a couple days before my eyes can gaze
        upon the sweetest sight they've seen!
         In a little while, my lips are gonna smile
from the bliss of kissin' Josephine!


    Hope you don't mind that I'm singin',
           but yesterday made me glad.
            It said tomorrow was bringin'
          G7                     D
            the best girl I ever had.

        Dm                       G

           G                     D     ( A  D )
            when we're together again.
