E                    B
Suzy and Johnny were happy
E                        B
Earned enough to pay the rent
             D          A      D        G
But Johnny's mother-in-law had too much ambition
    F#                      B
And this made Johnny very upset

[Chorus]
B                                E7
So to keep his little mama satisfied
   B7                               E7
He went and bought the weekly classified
        D     A    C      G
All for peace and quiet's sake

[Verse 2]
E7                    B
Johnny gave up his position
E7                           B
Just to please his mother-in-law
      D         A                          B
So he left the job where he'd been all his life
   F#                           Bm
He left and turned his back on door

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                      A
Now he's looking at the situations vacant
D                 B
Situations vacant

[Chorus]
B7                                E7
Just to keep his little mama satisfied
   B7                               E7
He went and bought the weekly classified
        D     A           G
All for peace and quiet's sake

[Guitar Solo]
E7  B  E7  B  D
A  B  F#  B

[Verse 3]
E                          B
Then he had to leave the apartment
E                           B
And sought a less plush residence
         D          A           C         G
And poor Suzy and Johnny had to skimp and save
        F#                     B
Just to help to pay the weekly rent

[Chorus]
B                               E7
So to keep his little mama satisfied
   B                                E7
He went and bought the weekly classified
        D     A           G
All for peace and quiet's sake

[Verse 4]
E               A
Johnny's got no money
E              A
Got nowhere to go
E             A              G
Johnny's in a great big hole
E                A  E               A
Suzy's separated,   living with her ma
E                     A   G  N.C.
Now little mama's satisfied
