(Am) (A4)(A4) (Em) (Am)

(A4)(A4) (Em) (Am)

Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)When you really (Em)loved me,

(Am)When the sun in the (Em)morning

(Am)Come without a war(Em)ning on my (Am)door. (Em)

(Am)Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)How it all just (Em)ended on the (Am)floor.

(A4)(A4)(Em) (Am)

Looking back, Jo(Em)anna

(Am)When you were but a (Em)child,

(Am)Even when you (Em)smiled you would (Am)cry. (Em)

(Am)Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)Every time I (Em)touched you, I would (A)lie.

There is a (F)river

Running changes by (Am)me,

There is a (F)river

That takes me to the (Am)sea,

There is a (Am)river,

It has made me (A)free. (Am) (A4)(A4)(Em)(Am) (10x)

Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)To that summer in Sa(Em)vannah,

(Am)And I would find you (Em)lying in my (Am)bed. (Em)

(Am)Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)I still can hear you (Em)breathing in my (A)head.

There is a (F)river

Running changes by (Am)me,

There is a (F)river

takes me to the (Am)sea,

There is a (F)river,

It has made me (A)free. (Am) (A4)(A4)(Em) (Am) 4x

Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)When you really (Em)loved me,

(Am)When the sun in the (Em)morning

(Am)Come without a (Em)warning on my (Am)door. (Em)

(Am)Looking back, Jo(Em)anna,

(Am)How it all just (Em)ended on the (Am)floor,(Em)

on the (Am)floor.(Em)

Looking back, Jo(Am)anna,(Em)

Looking back, Jo(Am)anna. (Em) (Am) (Em) (Am) (Em) (Am) (Em) (Am) (Em) (Am)

These are the bare bones, really. John keeps index finger and pinkie

busy embellishing the chords.
