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
