#1.  (Original key)
G   C        Am7        G   F            GHer name was Joanne and she lived in the meadow
G7   C   Am7 F Gby a pond.
        C                Am7         G FAnd she touched me for a moment with a look that 
         G     G7        C    Am7 F Gspoke to me of her sweet love.
         Dm    Dm7      G   G7        C             Am7Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation,
    G Dm   Dm7    G     G7     C            Am7And I saw, as she went, a most hopeless situation,
    G F            Fm7          G          G7for Joanne and the man, and the times that made 
          Cthem both run.

#2.
G   G7  C      Am7   F           Dm7       GShe was only a girl..I know that well, but still
G7          C   Am7 F GI could not see.....
Am7      C             Am7     G    F        That the hold that she had was much stronger than 
    Dm7      G        C   Am7 F Gthe love she felt for me.
    Dm    Dm7      G7          C             Am7But stay..ing with her, and my little bit of wisdom,
G     Dm   Dm7   G     G7     C               Am7broke down her desires like a light through a prism,
  G  F           Fm7         G           G7into yellows and blues and a tune that I could
         Cnot have sung.

#3.
           Am         Am7     Dm      Dm7Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to 
        Gcry for her.
F           F7                  GAnd my only thoughts of her are kind.
