Jos Lament

	  		G                     Em  
I stayed away so long Jo 
    G                          Em 
Don't think that I could come back 
     G                          Em 
You're doin' so well without me girl 
    G                 D                G 
You'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at 

G                                Em 
You knew me when it was all my world 
  G                         Em 
Somehow it's all passed me by 
   G                               Em 
But don't let on to my friends Jo dear 
     G              D               G 
That things ain't turned out as planned 
      C                   G 
You bore my child then I left you aside 
      G                  Em 
I don't expect you to forgive 
     G                           Em 
But Jo I can say in a funny old way 
    G             D         G 
I was sure that I had it made 


G                         Em 
I still possess a photograph 
 G               Em 
My memory to refresh 
    G                    Em 
But fade it may Jo I can say 
     G            D         G 
I was sure that I had it made 

      C                   G 
You bore my child then I left you aside 
       G                 Em 
I don't expect you to forgive 
      G                               C6 
But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid 
    G                   D          G 
To sleep alone for the rest of my days
