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.
  A                                B
I felt so damn bad this morning, I reached right 
                   A                         Abm7
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.

Joannie, I'm sorry and I'm feelin' oh, so small.
A                                      E
That was the message that I left and I waited for 

her call.
                        D                    A
I waited with a sinkin' feeling in my heart..not knowin' 
                        B
if she'd forgive me was tearin' me apart.
  A                          Abm7
I couldn't go on this way, I had to call again.
    B                    A                    B
The phone rang once, the phone rang twice and then I 

heard her say-ay.

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

her say-ay.

I promise, soon as I get in I'll phone.
