Joanne Michael Nesmith & The First National Band
[(G)]Her [C]name [C/B]was Jo[Am7]anne
[Am7/G]And she l[F]ived [F/F#]in the m[G]eadow [G7]by a p[C]ond,[C/B] [Am7] [Am7/G] [G7]
And she t[C]ouched me [C/B]for a [Am7]moment
W[Am7/G]ith a l[F]ook that s[F/F#]poke to [G]me of [G7]her sweet lov[C]e.[C/B] [Am7] [Am7/G] [F] [G7]
Then the w[Dm]oman[Dm7] that she [G]was d[G7]rove her [C]on in [C/B]despe[Am7]ration,
[Am7/G]And I s[Dm]aw a[Dm7]s she [G]went [G7]a most h[C]opeless[C/B] situ[Am7]ation
[Am7/G]For Joa[F]nne and the [Fm7]man and the t[G]imes that [G7]made them both [C]run.
[(G7)]She was [C]on -[C/B] ly a g[Am7]irl;[Am7/G]
I k[F]now that [F/F#]well, but st[G]ill I c[G7]ould not s[C]ee[C/B] [Am7] [Am7/G] [Dm7] [G7]
That the [C]hold [C/B]that she h[Am7]ad
[Am7/G]Was much st[F]ronger than the[F/F#] love she f[G]elt for [C]me.[C/B] [Am7] [Am7/G] [Dm7] [G7]
But [Dm]stay[Dm7]-ing with [G7]her, and my [C]little [C/B]bit of [Am7]wisdom
[Am7/G]Broke d[Dm]own [Dm7]her desi[G]res li[G7]ke a [C]light t[C/B]hrough a p[Am7]rism
[Am7/G]Into ye[F]llows and b[Fm7]lues and a tu[G]ne that I[G7] could not have su[C]ng.[C/B]
Bridge:
Though the [Am]essence is [Am7]gone, I [Dm]have no t[Dm+7]ears to [Dm7]cry for her,
[F]And my only th[F7]oughts of her are k[G]ind.
