( A )Josie, I won’t ( D )fail ( A )ya, I won’t fail ( E )you, have no ( A )fear, As the tide of dawn is ( D )sleep ( A )ing over the ( E )land, the day is ( A )near,
( A )The long breezes are ( D )blow ( A )in’ from the ( E )sky, as I ( A )recall, How did you come to ( D )love ( A )me, When you didn’t ( E )love me at ( A )all?
Josie, I won’t ( D )fail ( A )ya, As she ( E )lies here on my ( A )breast, In the night I think a( D )bout ( A )her, In the ( E )day I get no ( A )rest,
God bless you darling ( D )Jos( A )ie, With your sparklin’ ( E )eyes, so bright and ( A )clear, Josie, I won’t ( D )fail ( A )ya, I won’t fail ( E )you, have no ( A )fear,
Josie, I won’t ( D )fail ( A )ya, I won’t fail ( E )you, have no ( A )fear, Josie, I won’t ( D )fail ( A )ya, Give me one more ( E )chance, the day is ( A )near.
