Joanne:Michael Nesmith (Formerly of The Monkees.)
This was a great song that made the Top 40 in 1970.
#1. (Original key)
G C Am7 G F G
Her name was Joanne and she lived in the meadow
G7 C Am7 F G
by a pond.
C Am7 G F
And she touched me for a moment with a look that
G G7 C Am7 F G
spoke to me of her sweet love.
Dm Dm7 G G7 C Am7
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation,
G Dm Dm7 G G7 C Am7
And I saw, as she went, a most hopeless situation,
G F Fm7 G G7
for Joanne and the man, and the times that made
C
them both run.

G G7 C Am7 F Dm7 G
She was only a girl..I know that well, but still
G7 C Am7 F G
I could not see.....
Am7 C Am7 G F
That the hold that she had was much stronger than
Dm7 G C Am7 F G
the love she felt for me.
Dm Dm7 G7 C Am7
But stay..ing with her, and my little bit of wisdom,
G Dm Dm7 G G7 C Am7
broke down her desires like a light through a prism,
G F Fm7 G G7
into yellows and blues and a tune that I could
C
not have sung.
#3.
Am Am7 Dm Dm7
Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to
G
cry for her.
F F7 G
And my only thoughts of her are kind.
REPEAT#1.
ADD:
G F Fm7 G G7
For Joanne and the man and the times that made
C
them both run.(x2)(Fade)
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
