[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.
Jimmy, please say [A] you'll wait for me.
I'll grow [D] up someday, you'll see.
Save in all my kisses [G]
just for you.
[A] Signed with love [D] forever true.
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 say.
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 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.
Save in 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 [G] with her memory.
[A] And asked my Joni if she'd [D] marry me.
I ran all the way [A] to 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.
