[G] [D]
Joni was the girl [A] who lived next door I've known her I guess [D] ten years or more
Joni wrote me [G] a note one day [A] and this is what she [D] had to say
[Em] [D] Jimmy please say [A] you'll wait for me I'll grow [D] up someday you'll see
Say then all my kisses [G]
just for [A] you Signed with love forever [D] true
[G] [D] Slowly I read [A] her note once more I went over [D] to the house next door
Her teardrops fell [G] like rain that day [A] When I told Joni what I had [D] to [G] say
[D]
[G] [D]
Joni Joni [A] please don't cry You'll forget [D] me by and by
You're just fifteen [G] I am twenty-two [A] And Joni I just can't wait [D] for you
Soon [G] [D]
I left [A] our little hometown Got me a job and [D] tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting [G] my memory [A] The words that Joni said [D] to me
Jimmy please say [A] you'll wait for me I'll grow up [D] someday you'll see
Say then all my kisses [G]
just for you [A] Signed with love [D] forever true
I packed my clothes [A] and I caught a plane Had to see Joni [D] I had to explain
How my heart was filled with [G] her memory [A] And asked my Joni if she'd [D] marry me
I ran all the way to [A] the house next door Things weren't like [D] they were before
My teardrops fell [G] like rain that day [A] When I heard what Joni had [D] to say
[G] Jimmy [D]
[A] Jimmy please don't cry You'll forget [D] me by and by
It's been five years [G] since you've been [A] gone Jimmy I married your best friend [D]
