Joanne

C/G
Her name was Joanne
           F           G                  C/G           F        G
and she lived in a meadow by a pond
           C/G                                          F
And she touched me for a moment with a look
                   G                      C/G             F          G
that spoke to me of her sweet love

             F                     G                   C        C/B    Am
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation
       F               G                C         C/B      Am
Til I saw as she went a most hopeless situation
        F                  Fm              G
For Joanne, and the man, and the time
                              C/G
That made them both run

She was only a girl I know that well but still I could not see
That the hold that she had was much stronger than the love she felt for me
But staying with her and my little bit wisdom
Broke down her desires like the light thru a prism
Into yellows and blues and the tune that I could not have sung

C       C/B    Am                    Dm
Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to cry for her
      F                                      G
And my only thoughts of her are kind

Her name was Joanne
and she lived in a meadow by a pond
And she touched me for a moment with a look
that spoke to me of her sweet love

Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation
Til I saw as she went a most hopeless situation
For Joanne, and the man, and the time
That made them both run

For Joanne, and the man, and the time
That made them both run
