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

They went to their folks they told em

that someday soon they’d be wed
Bbm7 Fm
Their folks just laughed and called them kids
F# G# C#
so Mary said
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

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

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
