josephine and maxine by Foot Ox
G/F# is just a G but you move to the 2nd fret on the lower e string,
just a rundown basically.
Em C G
my love Josephine, her job's to swallow keys
D C
she sleeps in the greenhouse where she sleeps, seldomly
Em C G
with her sister Lauror, who sleeps at the liquor store
D C
she's got nothing there no more
C G D
except the birds that flicker and flutter and fly
C G D
they will not leave her stomach until she cries
C G D
and then they will pick her bones dry
C G D
and then they will pick her bones dry
Em D G G/F# (repeat untill end)
you are a split personality parody
you're lacking in sincere sincerity
you've been shooting up the track
you're wrong if you think you can't come back
