Dont Cry Joni Cifras

My very first attempt at tabbing, but this is a pretty simple song to tab. I should think this is the only
available for this song...I've been busy trying to find one...so I gave up and attempted my own.
 
[Intro:]
C G (x3)
 
or
 
E------------0--|
B------1--3-----|
G---0-----0--0--|
D---2-----------|
A---3-----------|
E---------------|
 
 
[Chorus]
C                       Em
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
G                 C
I'll grow up someday you'll see
C             (G)     F
Saving all my kisses just for you
G                   C
Signed with love forever true
 
(Just repeat the chord sequence again, again, again...)
 
(Actually, the song was originally in D major...I transposed it down my a whole tone to C major 'cos it's
to recognise the chords in C maj...so if you want the original pitch, I'll show the D major chords for the
stanza. Edit intro accordingly.)
 
 
[Verse]
D                     F#m
Joni was the girl who lived next door
A                      D
I've known her I guess ten years or more
D          (A)  G
Joni wrote me a note one day
A                    D
And this is what she had to say
 
(Choose which major you'll like to play in! The rest of the lyrics:)
 
 
[Chorus]
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
 
 
[Verse]
Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say
 
 
[Chorus]
Joni Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just 15 I'm 22
And Joni I just can't wait for you
 
 
[Verse]
Soon I left our little hometown
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these words kept pounding my memory
The words that Joni said to me
 
 
[Chorus]
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
 
 
[Verse]
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memories
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
 
I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say
 
 
[Chorus]
Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since you've been gone
Jimmy I've married your best friend John
