Key:
D
Singer/Band:
Conway Twitty
[D]Joni was the girl who [A]lived next door
I ve known her, I guess, ten [D]years or more
[D7]Joni wrote me a [G]note one day
[A]And this is what she [A7]had to [D]say
Chorus 1:
[D]Jimmy, please say you ll [A]wait for me
[A7]I ll grow up some [D]day you ll see
[D7]Saving all my kisses [G]just for you
[A]Signed with love for [A7]ever [D]true.
[D]Slowly I read her [A]note once more
[A7]I went over to the [D]house next door
Her [D7]teardrops fell like [G]rain that day
When [A]I told Joni what I [A7]had to [D]say.
Chorus 2:
[D]Joni, Joni, [A]please don t cry
[A7]You ll forget me [D]by and by
You re [D7]just fifteen, I m [G]twenty-two
And [A]Joni, I just can t [A7]wait for [D]you.
[D]Soon I left our [A]little hometown
[A7]Got me a job and tried to [D]settle down
But the [D7]words kept haunting my [G]memory
[A]The words that Joni [A7]said to [D]me
Chorus 1:
[D]Jimmy, please say you ll [A]wait for me
[A7]I ll grow up some [D]day you ll see
[D7]Saving all my kisses [G]just for you
[A]Signed with love for [A7]ever [D]true.
[D]I packed my clothes and I [A]caught a plane
I [A7]had to see Joni, I [D]had to explain
How my [D7]heart was filled with her [G]memory
[A]And ask my Joni if she'd [A7]marry [D]me
[D]I ran all the way to the [A]house next door
[A7]Things weren't like they [D]were before.
My [D7]teardrops fell like [G]rain that day
When [A]I heard what Joni [A7]had to [D]say
Chorus 3:
[D]Jimmy, Jimmy, [A]please don t cry
[A7]You ll forget me [D]by and by
It's [D7]been five years since [G]you ve been gone
[A]Jimmy, I married your [A7]best friend [D]John.
