Verse 1:
We're gonna Em7break out the hats and hooters when Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motorscooters
When Josie comes A/Dhome to G/Cstay
We're gonna D/Gpark in the C/Fstreet
Em7Sleep on the beach and make it
A7Throw down the jam 'til the G/Cgirls D/Gsay C/Fwhen
Em7Lay down the law and D/Gbreak it when E/AJosie comes Em7home
Chorus 1:
C/F F#7+9 B7+5+9 Em7 C/F
When Josie comes home so good
F#7+9 B7+5+9 Em7 A7
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the Am7raw fD7lame, the Gmaj7live Cmaj7wire
F#7+9 B7+5+9 Em7
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire
Verse 2:
Em7Jo who'd you love to scrapple, she'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em A/Dall down to G/Cnight
We're gonna D/Gmix in the C/Fstreet
Em7Strike at the stroke of midnight
A7Dance on the bones 'til the G/Cgirls D/Gsay C/Fwhen
Em7Pick up what's left by D/Gdaylight when E/AJosie comes Em7home
Chorus 2:
C/F F#7+9 B7+5+9 Em7 C/F
When Josie comes home, so bad
F#7+9 B7+5+9 Em7 A7
She's the best friend we never had
She's the Am7raw D7flame, the Gmaj7live Cmaj7wire
F#7+9 B7+5+9
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire

above are for anyone who wants to replicate the overall sound of those chords
on a single guitar.)
