#1.
DbGb
Mary and Jimmy were both very young, but as much
in love as two people could be.
DbAb
And all they wanted was to be together and share
Db
that love, eternally.
#2.
DbGbDb
They went to their folks and told them that someday
Ab
soon they'd be wed.
BbmFm
Their folks just laughed and called them kids.
GbAbDb
So, Mary said..
CHORUS:
GbDb
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away.
GbDbAb
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there on
Db
our wedding day.
#3.
GbDb
They wouldn't have laughed at Mary, if they could
Ab
have seen through the door.
BbmFmGb
But Jimmy was waiting in the car, but she begged
AbDb
them just once more.
CHORUS:
GbDb
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away.
GbDbAb
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there on
Db
our wedding day.
#4.
DbGbDb
Well, as they drove off they were crying, and nobody
AbBbmFmGb
knows for sure, if that is why they didn't see the sign
AbDbDCE
that read, 'detour.'
DCD
The next day when they found them, Mary and Jimmy were
C
dead.

And as their folks knelt beside them, in the rain, they
D
couldn't help but hear the last words that Mary said.
CHORUS:
GD
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away.
GDA
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there, on
D
our wedding day.
