E minorEm         B minorBm
Factory by five
A augmentedA          Asus4Asus4         A augmentedA
And as the morning hits, she's working a double-split shift
    E minorEm                        B minorBm
The boss says "Hope you don't mind"
A augmentedA         Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA
In a hand-written note placed in the lunchroom

E minorEm           E minor 7Em7
Leave Josie alone (you've got to leave that girl alone)
A augmentedA           Asus4Asus4        A augmentedA
She did not ask for you, could she be sitting there longing
    E minorEm                  E minor 7Em7
For someone to take her home? (you've got to leave that girl alone)
A augmentedA           Asus4Asus4          A augmentedA
Here in the morning light, she switches off the light


🎸 Chorus:
      D MajorD        D/F#D/F#      G+G
She's got such beautiful lips
    D MajorD          D/F#D/F#    G+G              D MajorD
They call like oranges to the thirsty man

Break-time intermits
   D MajorD        D/F#D/F#          G+G
He wants to say it but he don't know if he can

José sees Josephine and he wants to call her "Josie"

A augmentedA                Asus4Asus4         A augmentedA
I've watched you fifteen years bottling those god damn beers"

Between the lavatories, the men's and the lady's
