Robert Palmer - Johnny And Mary Ukulele

Johnny and Mary
By Robert Palmer
Standard Tuning - No Capo

Intro - D – Bb – D – F#m – G - A
                  D
Johnnys always running around
                          Bb
Trying to find certainty
                  D
He needs all the world to confirm
                        F#m
That he aint lonely

                  G
Mary counts the walls
                  A
Knows he tires easily
                   D
Johnny thinks the world would be right
                           Bb
If it could buy truth from him

                D                           F#m
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman

                  G
But she made her bed
                A
Even when the chance was slim
                   D
Johnny says hes willing to learn
                Bb
When he decides hes a fool
                  D
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
                        F#m
When he earns to time to move
                G
Mary combs her hair
                    A
Says she should be used to it
               D
Mary always hedges her bets
                Bb
She never knows what to think
                   D
She says that he still acts
                   F#m
Like he is being discovered
                      G
Scared that he'll be caught
             A
Without a second thought

Running around……

Bridge Chords - D – Bb – D – F#m7 – G - A


Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says hes lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnnys always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnnys always running around
Running around.... (fade out)


Notes: these are basic chords that sound pretty right, however they sound much nicer as 
chords. Play G as a Bar on 3rd Fret E7 shape. And the A as a bar on the 5th fret E7 shape.
