Joanne, by Michael Nesmith and the First National Band
from the album "Magnetic South"
charted by Bo Frazer <BFrazer@DataManagement.com>

C   Dm G
VERSE1:
    C
Her name was Joanne, and she
Dm         G           C   F G
lived in a meadow by a pond,
        C
And she touched me for a moment with a
Dm                 G               C   F G
look that spoke to me of her sweet love.
F                       G             C             Am
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation,
      F          G           C            Am
And I saw as she went a most hopeless situation
    F              Fm          G                        C
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.

VERSE2:
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.
But staying with her and my little bit of wisdom
Broke down her desires like the light through a prism
Into yellows and blues and the tune that I could not have sung.

CHORUS:
           Am
Though the essence is gone,
  Dm
I have no tears to cry for her
    F                           G
And my only thoughts of her are kind.

(Repeat verse1)

    F              Fm          G                        C   Dm G  C
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.
