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---------------| C (x32010@1) EmJimmy (022000@1)please say you'll wait for me G (320003@1) CI'll (x32010@1)grow up someday you'll see C (x32010@1) (G) FSaving (133211@1)all my kisses just for you G (320003@1) CSigned (x32010@1)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.) D (xx0232@1) F#mJoni (244222@1)was the girl who lived next door A (x02220@1) DI've (xx0232@1)known her I guess ten years or more D (xx0232@1) (A) GJoni (320003@1)wrote me a note one day A (x02220@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)this is what she had to say (Choose which major you'll like to play in! The rest of the lyrics:) 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
