G   C    C/B   Am7 
Her name was Joanne 
Am7/G    F    F/F#    G     G7    C    C/B  Am7 Am7/G G7 
And she lived in the meadow by a pond 
         C         C/B   Am7 
And she touched me for a moment 
Am7/G  F         F/F#    G     G7           C    C/B  Am7 Am7/G F G7 
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love 
          Dm  Dm7       G    G7       C     C/B  Am7          
Then the woman that she was drove her on in desperation 
Am7/G  Dm  Dm7   G    G7      C      C/B  Am7 
And I saw as she went a most hopeless situation 
Am7/G  F           Fm7          G         G7             C 
For Joanne and the man and the times that made them both run 
G7      C   C/B Am7 Am7/G 
She was only a girl 
   F        F/F#        G      G7        C     C/B Am7 Am7/G Dm7 G7 
I know that well, but still I could not see 
         C    C/B       Am7 
That the hold that she had 
Am7/G      F              F/F#       G       C   C/B  Am7 Am7/G Dm7 G7 
Was much stronger than the love she felt for me 
    Dm  Dm7      G7          C      C/B    Am7 
But staying with her, and my little bit of wisdom 
Am7/G  Dm  Dm7     G     G7   C      C/B       Am7 
Broke down her desires like a light through a prism 
Am7/G  F          Fm7          G        G7                C   C/B 
Into yellows and blues and a tune that I could not have sung 

Bridge 
           Am         Am7     Dm       Dm7+    Dm7 
Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to cry for her 
F             F7                 G 
And my only thoughts of her are kind 
G   C    C/B   Am7 
Her name was Joanne
