Subject: TAB: Johnny & Mary - Robert Palmer

TITLE:  Johnny & Mary
ARTIST: Robert Palmer
ALBUM:  Clues (1979?)


This is the tab for that tune that keeps playing in the background to the melody of the song. I'm not sure if it is a guitar but this tab sounds a lot like it. If you haven't even heard this song, play this while reading the lyrics, and then you'll be

   Mary counts the walls        Cause he tires easily


(not sure about all the lyrics as they are off the top of my head, so corrections welcome!)

(Keep repeating that guitar pattern for the following all of the following lyrics)


Johnny thinks the world will be right if he can find truth in it,
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
Then she made a bet
Even if the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool,
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when it is time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it

Mary always ?????   she never knows what to think,
She says he still acts like he's being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Lay down on a second thought

Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her,
Mary says he ??????
So she combs her hair
Cause he tires easily

(repeat first verse changing the sound of the vocals a bit)

Johnny's always running around

Running around
