C
You got to know where you stand
                           Dm
If you are going to try to make a move
       F                       G                             C  (pause)
She is standing alone with her girls and I don't think she minds
                          C
You better not give a damn
                       Dm
If you are going to be one of those dudes
            F
I've seen a thousand come round and she
      G                             C
just shoots them all down the cold shoulder

[Chorus]
                     F                            G
So if you want my advice don't let it go to your head
                     C                           Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
                         F                               G
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
                      C  (pause)
Better forget about Joni

[Verse]
                               C
Her black hair shines in the night
                             Dm
An infectious smile and she loves to tease
         F                        G                            C (pause)
All the athletes and actors have called but she's never responded
                           C
She's got those jeans on so tight
                              Dm
She's half Egyptian and half Japanese
               F                         G
Each time she batting an eye congressmen senators cry
        C
Oh mama help me

[Chorus]
                   F                              G
So if you want my advise don't let it go to your head
                     C                            Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
                       F                               G
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
                     C
Better forget about Joni

[Bridge]
                Am  (pause)
J- J- J- J- J- Joni
                C   (pause)
J- J- J- J- J- Joni
                Am  (pause)
J- J- J- J- J- Joni
                    G
All the men want Joni so much
        G7                           C
But she don't want the touch of a man

[Solo]

C  Dm  F G C (pause)

[Verse]
                             C
You're gonna know where you were
                          Dm
The very moment that you caught these blues
           F                          G                               C
And you'll lie awake all through your nights wondering what she's doing
                          C
Just look at me if your unsure
                             Dm
I've walked a thousand miles in your shoes
               F                            C
I've spent the rest of my life back at this bar every night trying to love her

[Chorus]
                     F
So if you want my advice
                        G
Don't let it go to your head
                    C                             Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
                      F                                 G
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
                     C
Better forget about Joni
                     F
So if you want my advice
                        G
Don't let it go to your head
                    C                             Am
She's the kind of a girl who wants a girl in her bed
                      F                                 G  (pause)
You can give her your heart, she wants your sister's instead
                      C         G (pause)
Better forget about Joni
                      C         G (pause)
Better forget about Joni
                      C         G (pause)
Better forget about Joni
                            C
Better forget about...
