       A
Ooh, this is a story 'bout Mary and Joe
  E                    D
Two young lovers from long ago
         A
Just a small-town romance that you might know
 E           D          A
Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
   A
A rumor got started, or so they say
      E                 D
That Joe got Mary in a family way
 A
Neighbors started talkin', the word got around
  E                      D            A
Joe said, "Mary, gotta blow this town"

Chorus:
     D
Oh, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
      A
In a beat up Buick on the open road
 A
Chuck Berry playin' on the radio
 E           D           A
Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe

Joe said, "Mary, just a few more miles
You can make it, baby, just gimme a smile
I can see Bethlehem up ahead
They got a buffet breakfast and a motel bed"

Chorus:
Yeah, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
Lookin' for a place where they can go
The heater went out, it was twenty below
Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe

Well, they're all filled up at the Motel 6
Joe said, "Man, we're in a hell of a fix
But don't you worry, baby, it'll be alright
There's angels up in heaven lookin' down tonight"
That's right

Chorus:
Oh, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
And a pretty little baby in swaddlin' clothes
Star in the east cast a heavenly glow
Over Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe

       A
Yeah, wouldn't be long before the world would know
       E           D           A
About Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
     A
Oh, yeah
A
Joe and Mary

 Oh, Mary and Joe

It wouldn't be long before the world would know
