JOANNE        Mike Nesmith


    G
Her name was Joanne
    C              D           G     Em C D
And she lived in a meadow by a pond,
        G
And she touched me for a moment
       C                  D               G     Em C D
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love
         C              D             G             Em
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation
      C            D           G            Em
And I   saw as she went a most hopeless situation
    C              Cm          D                        G
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.



She was only a girl
I know that well, but still I could not see
That the hold that she had
Was much stronger than the love she felt for me
While staying with her, and my little bit of wisaom,
Broke down her desires like a light through a prism
Into yellows and blues and the tune that I could not have sung

           Em
Though the essence is gone,
  Am
I have no tears to cry for her,
            C                   D
And my only thoughts of her are kind.


Repeat Verse 1


For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run

For Joanne and the man and the time...
