Mary and Joseph (as sung by Tim Mcgraw)
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
