Give Us Your Blessings

C# 
Run, run, run, Mary, run, run, run, 
Jimmy, run, run, run, Mary, run, run, run, 

C#7					       
Mary and Jimmy were both very young  
F#                           
but as much in love As two people could be  
C#7                                        G#7                    C#          
and all they wanted was to be together and share their love eternally 

     C#                       F#  
They went to their folks they told em  
     C#                    G#7 
that someday soon they’d be wed 
      Bbm7                   Fm  
Their folks just laughed and called them kids  
F# G#    C# 
so Mary said 

[Refrão]
             F#                    C# 
Give us your blessing please don’t make us run away 
             F#                  C#       G#             C# 
Give us your blessing say you’ll be there on our wedding day 
They wouldn’t have laughed at Mary 
If they could have seen through the door 
But Jimmy was waiting in the car 
While Mary begged once more 

Chorus 

Well as they drove off they were crying 
And nobody knows for sure 
That, that’s why they didn’t see the sign 
That read detour 

D (bass: /D /A /C /E) 
Spoken :The next day they found them Mary and Jimmy were dead 
And as their folks knelt beside them in the rain 
They couldn’t help but hear 
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said 

             G                    D 
Give us your blessing please don’t make us run away 
             G                   D           A           D 
Give us your blessing say you’ll be there on our wedding day 

D 
Run, run, run, Mary, run, run, run, 
Jimmy, run, run, run, Mary, run, run, run,
