EDA
Joannie, came over to my house last night, I drank
E
a little too much red and we got into a fight.
D
She said, I'm leavin' and I let her go alone.
AB
I felt so damn bad this morning, I reached right
AAbm7
for the phone..and called her right away, to beg her
to forgive.
B
The phone rang once, the phone rang twice, and then
I heard her say-ay.

ED
Joannie, I'm sorry and I'm feelin' oh, so small.
AE
That was the message that I left and I waited for
her call.
DA
I waited with a sinkin' feeling in my heart..not knowin'
B
if she'd forgive me was tearin' me apart.
AAbm7
I couldn't go on this way, I had to call again.
BAB
The phone rang once, the phone rang twice and then I
heard her say-ay.

ED
My phone rang and my heart sang, my baby's called at last.
AEA
Instead, it was a friend who said that Joannie's car had
E
crashed.
ED
I never should've let her drive home angry from my place.
AB
I'd never hold her again and kiss that funny face.
AAbm
But still there was a way to hear her voice again..
BAEB
the phone rang once, the phone rang twice..and then I heard
her say-ay.

Hello, this is Joannie, I'm sorry, but I'm
E
not home. (I'm so sorry Joannie.)
