ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD- Paul Simon
G/D A/D G/D D (rpt)
G C
Mama pajama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station
D
When the papa found out
G
he began to shout and started the investigation
D G
It's against the law, it was against the law
D G
What what mama saw, it was against the law
The mama look down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said "oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
CHORUS:
C G
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
C G A D
I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
F C/E D G C G D
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
(Instrumental break)
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek ...CHORUS

See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
