Mary And Joseph by Tim Mcgraw
Mary And Joseph
Capo 4th fret
I like this song, and I couldn't find the chords anywhere,
so here they are as well as I could figure them out.
This is just how i decided to vary the chords,
because I think it sounds good.
you can play it with just regular C, F, and Am chords).
Replace all the C variations with C, F variations with F
Replace Am with the Asus4 and Dsus2 chords.
C: 032010
CaddG: 032013
F: xx3211
Fadd9: xx3213
Am: 002210
Asus4: 002230
Cmaj7: 032000
Cadd9: 032030
Csus2: 030010
Dsus2: 000230
G: 320003
