Her name was Joanne,
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
and she lived in a meadow by a pond.
G G 
 
And she touch'd me for a moment,
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
with a look that spoke to me of
G G 
 
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
her sweet love.
C C 
 
D D 
 
Then the woman that she was drove
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
her on with desperation,
C C 
 
D D 
 
and I saw as she went a
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
most hopeless situation.

Verse 2
D D 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
She was only a girl, I know that will,
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
and still I could not see;
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
That the hold she had was much stronger
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
than the love she had for me.
C C 
 
D D 
 
But staying with her,
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
and my little bit of wisdom,
C C 
 
D D 
 
broke down her desires like
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
a light thru a  prism;
C C 
 
Cm Cm 
 
D D 
 
into yellows and blues and a tune
G G 
 
that I could not have sung.

Tho' the essence is gone,

I have no tear to cry for her

and my only tho't of her is kind.
