Intro 1
(G major) (C major)
Verse 1
Joni was the girl (C major) who
(G major) lived next door
I've known her, I guess,
ten (C major) years or more
Joni wrote me a note (F major) one day
(G major) And this is what she had to say
(C major)

Verse 2
(C major) "Jimmy, please, say you'll (G major) wait for me
I'll grow up someday, (C major) you will see
Saving all my kisses (F major) just for you (G major)
Signed with love, forever (C major) true"
Verse 3
(C major)
Slowly, I read her (G major) note once more
I went over to the (C major) house next door
Her tear drops fell like (F major) rain that day
When (G major) I told Joni what I had to say
(C major)
Verse 4
Jon (G major) i, Joni, please, don't cry
You'll forget me (C major) by and by
You're just 15, I (F major) am 22
And (G major) Joni, I just can't wait for (C major) you
Verse 5
(C major)
Soon, I left our (G major) little home town
Got me a job and tried to (C major) settle down
But these words kept haunting my (F major) memory
(G major) The words that Joni said to (C major) me
Verse 6
(C major) "Jimmy, please, say you'll (G major) wait for me
I'll grow up someday, (C major) you'll see
Saving all my kisses (F major) just for you
(G major) Signed with love, forever (C major) true"
Verse 7
(C major)
I packed my clothes and I (G major) caught a plane
Had to see Joni, I (C major) had to explain
How my heart was filled with her (F major) memory
(G major) And ask my Joni if she'd marry (C major) me
Verse 8
I (C major) ran all the way to the (G major) house next door
Things weren't like they (C major) were before
My tear drops fell like (F major) rain that day
When (G major) I heard what Joni had to say (C major)
Verse 9
(C major)
"Jimmy, Jimmy, (G major) please, don't cry
You'll forget me, (C major) by and by
It's been five years since
(F major) you've been gone
(G major) Jimmy, I married your best friend, (C major) John"
