Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][C]

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

[Verse 2]
[C]"Jimmy, please, say you'll [G]wait for me
I'll grow up [C]someday, you will see
Saving all my kisses [F]just for [G]you
Signed with love, forever [C]true"

[Verse 3]
[C]
Slowly, I read her [G]note once more
I went over to the [C]house next door
Her tear drops fell like [F]rain that day
When [G]I told Joni what I had to say
[C]

[Verse 4]
Jon[G]i, Joni, please, don't cry
You'll forget me [C]by and by
You're just 15, I [F]am 22
[G]And Joni, I just can't wait for [C]you

[Verse 5]
[C]
Soon, I left our [G]little home town
Got me a job and tried [C]to settle down
But these words kept haunting my [F]memory
[G]The words that Joni said to me[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]"Jimmy, please, say you'll [G]wait for me
I'll grow up [C]someday, you'll see
Saving all my kisses [F]just for you
[G]Signed with love, for[C]ever true"

[Verse 7]
[C]
I packed my clothes and [G]I caught a plane
Had to see Joni, I [C]had to explain
How my heart was filled with [F]her memory
[G]And ask my Joni if she'd marry me[C]

[Verse 8]
I [C]ran all the way to the [G]house next door
Things weren't like they [C]were before
My tear drops fell like [F]rain that day
When [G]I heard what Joni had to s[C]ay

[Verse 9]
[C]
"Jimmy, Jimmy, [G]please, don't cry
You'll forget me, [C]by and by
It's been five years since
[F]you've been gone
[G]Jimmy, I married your best friend, [C]John"
