Bb

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Db6      F           F7sus4
   I was watching TV late    last night
      Bb
And a scene transported me
Db6 F                      F7sus4
    Long gone figures came back    to life
     Bb
In a documentary
Db6 C                    F
     Though I saw them dance for joy
      Bb              F
I was sad I missed that show
F           F7sus4
 If I had a time    machine
  Bb                Db6
I know just where I'd go 

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
      F                      F7sus4
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
   Bb           Db6
Dancing in a Paris   cabaret
F                      F7sus4
Born too late to see Josephine Baker
    Bb                    Db6    F
She must have been great in her heyday

[Interlude (1)]

F7sus4 | Bb | Db6 | F 
F7sus4 | Bb 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Db6    F                   F7sus4
   Now some they stand out from    a crowd
     Bb
Even at  an early age
Db6 F                  F7sus4
    I suppose that her call    was loud
           Bb
'Cause she just lit up the stage
Db6 C                F
     You can put on all that gloss
    Bb
And still not have to feel
F F                   F7sus4
   What's inside will come    across
    Bb         Db6
And only real is real

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
      F                      F7sus4
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
   Bb           Db6
Dancing in a Paris   cabaret
F                      F7sus4
Born too late to see Josephine Baker
   Bb           Db6
Dancing in a Paris   cabaret
F                      F7sus4
Born too late to see Josephine Baker
    Bb                       Db6   F
She must have been great in her   heyday

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Db6    F                        F7sus4
   I'm sometimes trapped by the close   confines
       Bb
Of the age I'm born into
Db6 F                        F7sus4
    Though there were others worse   than mine
        Bb
Well, I miss what I can't do
Db6 C                    F
     Join the feast of Ancient Greece
       Bb
See Alexander's Library
F F              F7sus4
   Maybe clink a champagne toast
       Bb             Db6
With a jazz age dancing queen

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
      F                      F7sus4
I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
   Bb           Db6
Dancing in a Paris   cabaret
F                      F7sus4
Born too late to see Josephine Baker
   Bb           Db6
Dancing in a Paris   cabaret
   F                        F7sus4
In black and white film you can't   mistake her
    Bb                       Db6   F
She must have been great in her   heyday
