Her [C] name was [Am] Joanne and she [F] lived in the [G] meadow
by a [C] pond. [Am] [F] [G]
And she [C] touched me for a [Am] moment with a [F] look
that spoke to [G] me of her sweet [C] love. [Am7] [F] [G]
Then the [Dm] woman that she [G] was
drove her [C] on with [C] desper-[Am]ation,
And I [Dm7] saw, as she [G] went,
a most [C] hopeless [C] situ-[Am]ation,
for Jo-[F]anne and the [Fm] man, and the [G] time
that [G] made them both [C] run.
She was [C] only a [Am] girl. I [F] know that well,
but [G] still I could not [C] see [Am] [F] [G]
That the [C] hold that she [Am] had was much [F] stronger
than the [G] love she felt for [C] me. [Am] [F] [G]
But [Dm] staying with [G] her, and my [C] little [C] bit of [Am] wisdom,
broke [Dm7] down her de-[G]sires
like a [C] light [C] through a [Am] prism,
into [F] yellows and [Fm] blues and a [G] tune
that [G] I could not have [C] sung.
Though the [Am] essence is gone,
I [Dm] have no tears to cry for her.
[F] And my only thoughts of her are [G] kind.
