Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Her [C]name was Joanne,
and she [Dm]lived [F]in a [G]meadow by a [C]pond.[F][G]
And she [C]touch'd me for a moment,
with [Dm]a look that spoke to [G]me of
her sweet [C]love.[F][Dm][G]
Then the [F]woman that she [G]was drove
her [C]on with despera[Am]tion,
and I [F]saw as she [G]went a
most [C]hopeless [Am]situation.
For [F]Joanne, and the [Fm]man,
and [G]the time that made them both wrong.
[C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]
She was [C]only a girl, I [Dm]know that will,
and [G]still I could [C]not [F]see[G];
That the [C]hold she had was much [Dm]stronger
[F]than the[G] love she had for me.[C][F][G]
But [F]staying with [G]her,
and [C]my little bit of wis[Am]dom,
broke [F]down her de[G]sires like
[C]a light thru [G]a p[Am]rism;
into [F]yellows and [Fm]blues and a tun[G]e
that I could not have sun[C]g.

[Verse 3]
Tho' the [Am]essence is gone,
[Dm]I have no tear to cry for her
and [G]my only [F]tho't of her is kind.
[G]

[Verse 4]
Her [C]name was Joanne,
and [Dm]she lived in a m[G]eadow by a p[C]ond.[F][G]
And she [C]touch'd me for a moment,
with [Dm]a look that spoke to [G]me
of her sweet [C]love.[F][G]
Then the [F]woman that she [G]was drove
her [C]on with despera[Am]tion,
and I [F]saw as she [G]went a
most [C]hopeless situ[Am]ation.
For [F]Joanne, and the [Fm]man,
and the [G]time that made them both [C]wrong.
For [F]Joanne, and [Fm]the man, and the time,
[G]that made them both wro[C]ng.

[Outro 1]
