pirates and cats of my sommerville
Dm                        Gm
The girl in the alphabet shirt 
               C7                 
covered in dirt lives on the hill
F  A


D                  Em            
Well, my sweet Josephine, Are you
                 G
 still racing stray dogs
  A             Bm
Across the old stream?
                 Em            
My neighbourhood queen, Are you 
                G           A 
still kissing cowboys that cry, 
        Dm
Josephine?

Dm                          Gm   
She stole my grandmother’s watch,
                C7
 a treasure to touch, to keep time 
to
    F   A
Herself
Continues after the ad
Dm                       Gm      
Her mind was a very big house, we
                     C7
 got lost there for hours until 
August

You say you’re alright, but Josie
           C

                    G
You gotta get your feet on the 
ground
         C                         
But she says: “No, don’t you see we
       Bb                          
 have wings, It’s the funniest 
  C
thing
               G
it’s just that no ones knows”
