Joanne Michael Nesmith
Joanne:Michael Nesmith (Formerly of The Monkees.)
This was a great song that made the Top 40 in 1970.
[G]Her [C]name was [Am7]Joanne and [G]she [F]lived in the [G]meadow
[G7]by a [C]pond[Am7].[F] [G]
And she [C]touched me for a [Am7]moment with [G]a [F]look that
spoke to [G]me of [G7]her sweet [C]love.[Am7] [F] [G]
Then the [Dm]woman [Dm7]that she [G]was [G7]drove her [C]on with desper[Am7]ation,
And [G]I [Dm]saw, [Dm7]as she [G]went, [G7]a most [C]hopeless situ[Am7]ation,
for [G]Jo[F]anne and the [Fm7]man, and the [G]times that [G7]made
them both [C]run.
[G]She [G7]was [C]only a [Am7]girl..[F]I know that [Dm7]well, but [G]still
[G7]I could not [C]see.[Am7]....[F] [G]
[Am7]That the [C]hold that she [Am7]had was [G]much [F]stronger than
the [Dm7]love she [G]felt for [C]me.[Am7] [F] [G]
But [Dm]stay..[Dm7]ing with [G7]her, and my [C]little bit of [Am7]wisdom,
[G]broke [Dm]down [Dm7]her de[G]sires [G7]like a [C]light through a [Am7]prism,
in[G]to [F]yellows and [Fm7]blues and a [G]tune that I [G7]could
not have [C]sung.
Though the [Am]essence is [Am7]gone, I [Dm]have no [Dm7]tears to
cry for [G]her.
[F]And my only [F7]thoughts of her are [G]kind.
REPEAT#1.
ADD:
For [G]Jo[F]anne and the [Fm7]man and the [G]times that [G7]made
them both [C]run.(x2)(Fade)
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
