(Just repeat the chord sequence again, again, again...)

(Actually, the song was originally in D major...I transposed it down my a whole tone to C major 'cos it's

to recognise the chords in C maj...so if you want the original pitch, I'll show the D major chords for the

stanza. Edit intro accordingly.)

DJoni was the girl who F♯mlived next door

AI've known her I guess Dten years or more

DJoni wrote mAe a Gnote one day

AAnd this is what she Dhad to say

(Choose which major you'll like to play in! The rest of the lyrics:)

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up some day you'll see

Saving all my kisses just for you

Signed with love forever true

Slowly I read her note once more

Then I went over to the house next door

Her teardrops fell like rain that day

When I told Joni what I had to say

Joni Joni please don't cry

You'll forget me by and by

You're just 15 I'm 22

And Joni I just can't wait for you

Soon I left our little hometown

Got me a job and try to settle down

But these words kept pounding my memory

The words that Joni said to me

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up some day you'll see

Saving all my kisses just for you

Signed with love forever true

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane

I had to see Joni I had to explain

How my heart was filled with her memories

And ask my Joni if she'd marry me

I ran all the way to the house next door

But things weren't like they were before

My teardrops fell like rain that day

When I heard what Joni had to say

Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry

You'll forget me by and by

It's been five years since you've been gone

Jimmy I've married your best friend John
