[INTRO]
C Dm G C

[VERSE 1]
C Dm G
Her name was Joanne and she lived in a meadow by a
C C/B Am Am/G F G
pond.
C Dm G
And she touched me for a moment with a look that spoke to me of her sweet
C C/B Am Am/G F G
love.
F G C C/B Am Am/G
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation.
F G C C/B Am Am/G
And I saw, as she went, a most hopeless situation
F Fm G
for Joanne and the man and the time that made them both
C
run.

[VERSE 2]
C Dm G
She was only a girl. I know that well, but still I could not
C C/B Am Am/G F G
see
C Dm G
That the hold that she had was much stronger than the love she felt for
C C/B Am Am/G F G
me.
F G C C/B Am Am/G
But staying with her, and my little bit of wisdom,
F G C C/B Am Am/G
broke down her desires like a light through a prism
F Fm G
into yellows and blues and a tune that I could not have
C
sung.

[BRIDGE]
Am Dm
Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to cry for her
Dm7 G
and my only thoughts of her are kind.

[VERSE 1]

[REPEAT LAST LINE]
F Fm G
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both
C Dm G C
run.
