Fmaj7  F#7#9  Gmaj7  Abmaj7/6

Verse 1:

Em7
  We're gonna break out the hats and hooters when Josie comes home

We're gonna rev up the motorscooters
           A/D   G/C
  When Josie comes home to stay
        D/G     C/F
  We're gonna park in the street
  Em7
  Sleep on the beach and make it
  A7             G/C  D/G C/F
  Throw down the jam 'til the girls say when
  Em7         D/G      E/A     Em7
  Lay down the law and break it when Josie comes home

Chorus 1:

C/F    F#7#9 B7#9#5  Em7  C/F
  When Josie comes home     so good
       F#7#9    B7#9#5    Em7 A7
  She's the pride of the neighborhood
       Am7 D7    Gmaj7 Cmaj7
  She's the raw flame, the live wire
    F#7#9           B7#9#5
  She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire

Verse 2:

Jo who'd you love to scrapple, she'll never say no
  Shine up the battle apple
  We'll shake 'em all down tonight
  We're gonna mix in the street
  Strike at the stroke of midnight
  Dance on the bones 'til the girls say when
  Pick up what's left by daylight when Josie comes home

Chorus 2:

When Josie comes home, so bad
  She's the best friend we never had
  She's the raw flame, the live wire
  She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire

Instrumental break (2:15 - 2:31):

Chord fingerings:

Abmaj7/6: xx6563
	A/D:	 x57655
	B7#9#5:	 x21233
	C/F:	 xx3553
	D/G:	 xx5775
	E/A:	 xx7997
	F#7#9:	 242355
	G/C:	 x35433

(On the record, those X/Y chords are almost certainly played as a standard X
chord on guitar, with the bass covering the Y note; the fingerings suggested
above are for anyone who wants to replicate the overall sound of those chords
on a single guitar. And, incidentally, Laura Nyro was using major triads
with the fourth in the bass when Don and Walt were still playing frat parties
at Bard.)
