Lyrics

Josie Please – Bryan O’ Ruanaidh & Christine Grimard
E
I saw Josie walking – by the railroad track
A E
I called out her name, but she did not look back
D A D A
I can’t be sure she heard me, she seemed to pause a step
D A B E
She just kept on walking and she hasn’t come back yet

E
The last time we talked, was at the Friday dance.
A E
I said – “Josie Please, won’t you give me half a chance”
D A D A
Take a good look around you, at the greed and the need
D A B E
And don’t you lose sight, of the line in between.

E
When you leave your heart open, to the pain of this world
A E
And you can’t sense the truth, in the lie you just heard
D A D A
You tell me that you’re sorry, for making night from day
D A D A
But that Cheshire Cat Grin, always gives you away
D A D A
You say, you see the world clearly - Queen of all you survey
D A D A D A
But Oohh Josie Please – Oohh Josie Please – Oohh Josie Please
B E B E
Won’t you meet me half way, Won’t you meet me half way,
Won’t you meet me half way, Won’t you meet me half way
D A D A D A
But Oohh Josie Please – Oohh Josie Please – Oohh Josie Please
B E B E
Won’t you meet me half way, Won’t you meet me half way,
Won’t you meet me half way, Won’t you meet me half way
