Julie and little john tyler lived in the house next door

G-7 d-7 |g-7 d-7 |e-7b5 |eb-j7 |

We would be the great triangle and to this we swore

D- |ebj7 |bb d-/a |g- |

Julie was my sweetheart, little john was my cohort

C /bb |/a /g |f |f |

And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart

Gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2

Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun

|gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |

And promised to return before the moon struck one

Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7 ||



Julie came running through the pasture--she was screaming at the sky

She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly

Little john was stung by a snake over by the lake

And it looked like he s really, really hurt--he was lying in the dirt

Who, we went it as fast as we could run

|bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |

But we lost little john as the moon struck one

Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7



I was vacant, julie was a bird with a broken wing

We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring

We'll drive down to durango--up and leave this place

And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace

The car broke down when we had just begun

|bb ebadd2 |

And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one

Bb ebadd2 |[7x] then g-7
