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
