Mary and Jimmy were both very young, but as much 

in love as two people could be.
    Db                                     Ab
And all they wanted was to be together and share 
           Db
that love, eternally.

They went to their folks and told them that someday 
               Ab
soon they'd be wed.
      Bbm                    Fm
Their folks just laughed and called them kids.
Gb  Ab   Db                              
So, Mary said.. 

CHORUS:
             Gb                     Db        
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away. 
             Gb                   Db       Ab
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there on
            Db
our wedding day.

They wouldn't have laughed at Mary, if they could 
                      Ab
have seen through the door.
    Bbm       Fm                          Gb
But Jimmy was waiting in the car, but she begged 
     Ab        Db
them just once more.

CHORUS:
             Gb                     Db        
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away. 
             Gb                   Db       Ab
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there on
            Db
our wedding day.

Db                                Gb          Db
Well, as they drove off they were crying, and nobody 
          Ab       Bbm              Fm             Gb
knows for sure, if that is why they didn't see the sign
     Ab       Db     D C E
that read, 'detour.'
    D                  C           D
The next day when they found them, Mary and Jimmy were 
C
dead.
             D                               C
And as their folks knelt beside them, in the rain, they 
                                                D
couldn't help but hear the last words that Mary said.

CHORUS:
             G                      D         
Give us your blessing, please don't make us run away. 
             G                    D         A              
Give us your blessing, say you'll be there, on 
            D
our wedding day.
