Chords for Don't Cry Joni ~ Lyrics

[D] .
[G] [D] .
Joni was the girl who [A] 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 had [D] to say.
[G] [D] Jimmy please stay, [A] you'll wait for me I'll grow up [D] someday you'll see.
Saving all my kisses [G] just for you [A] .
Signed with love forever [D] true .
[G] [D] .
Slowly I read her [A] note once more I went over [D] to the house next door.
Her tear drops 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 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.
[G] [D] .
Jimmy please stay, [A] you'll wait for me I'll grow [D] up someday you'll see.
Saving all my kisses [G] just for you [A] .
Signed with love forever [D] true.
I packed my [A] clothes and I caught a plane Had to see Joni I [D] had to explain.
How my heart was filled [G] with her memory [A] And asked my Joni if she'd marry [D] me.
I ran all the way [A] to the house next door Things weren't like [D] they were before.
My tear drops fell [G] like rain that day [A] When I heard what Joni had [D] to [G] say.
[D] Jimmy [D] .
