Verse 2
Jimmy please say you'll (A major) wait for me
I'll grow up some (D major) day you'll see

(A major) Signed with love forever (D major) true
Verse 3

When (A major) I told Joni what I had to (D major) say
Chorus 1
Joni, Joni, (A major) please don't cry

You're just fif (D7) teen I'm (G major) twenty two
And (A major) Joni I just can't wait for (D major) you
Verse 4

Got me a job and tried to (D major) settle down
But these words kept (D7) haunting my (G major) memory
(A major) The words that Joni said to (D major) me
Verse 5
Jimmy please say you'll (A major) wait for me
I'll grow up some (D major) day you'll see

(A major) Signed with love forever (D major) true
Verse 6
I packed my clothes and (A major) I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I (D major) had to explain
How my heart was (D7) filled with her (G major) memory
(A major) And ask my Joni if she'd marry (D major) me
Verse 7
I ran all the way to the (A major) house next door
But things weren't like they (D major) were before
My teardrops (D7) fell like (G major) rain that day
When (A major) I heard what Joni had to (D major) say
Chorus 2
Jimmy Jimmy (A major) please don't cry
You'll forget me (D major) by and by
It's been five (D7) years since (G major) you've been gone
(A major) Jimmy I married your best friend (D major) John
