Joe and Mary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This is a story 'bout Mary and Joe
Two [D]young lovers [G]from long ago
Just a small-town romance
romance that you might know
[D]Joe and [G]Mary, [C]Mary and Joe
[G]

[Verse 2]
A rumor got started, or so they say
That Joe [D]got Mary [G]in a family way
Neighbors started talkin',
the word got around
Joe [D]said, "Mary, [G]gotta blow this town"

[Verse 3]
Oh, [C]Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
In a [G]beat up Buick on the open road
Chuck Berry playin' on the radio
[D]Joe and [G]Mary, [C]Mary and Joe
[G]

[Verse 4]
Joe said, "Mary, just a few more miles
[D]You can make it, baby, [G]just give me a smile
I can see Bethlehem up ahead
They got a [D]buffet breakfast
and [G]a motel bed"

[Verse 5]
Yeah, [C]Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
[G]Lookin' for a place where they can go
The heater went out, it was twenty below
[D]Joe and [G]Mary, [C]Mary and Joe

[Verse 6]
Well, they're [G]all fulled up at the Motel 6
Joe [D]said, "Man, we're [G]in a hell of a fix
But don't you worry, baby,
it'll be alright
There's an[D]gels up in heaven
[G]lookin' down tonight"
That's right

[Verse 7]
Oh, [C]Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
[G]And a pretty little baby in
swaddlin' clothes
Star in the east cast a heavenly glow
[D]Over Joe and [G]Mary, [C]Mary and Joe
[G]

[Verse 8]
Yeah, wouldn't be long before
the world would know
About [D]Joe and [C]Mary, Mary and [G]Joe
Oh, yeah
