Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard chords
Paul Simon *

A D A E  6x

    A
The mama pajama rolled out of bed,
                          D
and she ran to the police station
         E
When the papa found out, he began to shout,
                          A
and he started the investigation

                 E
It s against the law;
                   A
it was against the law
              E
What the mama saw;
                   A
it was against the law

    A
The mama looked down and spit on the ground,
                        D
every time my name gets mentioned
    E
The papa said oy, if I get that boy,
                                      A
I m gonna stick him in the house of detention

               D
Well I m on my way;
             A
I don t know where I m going
          D                  A
I m on my way, I m taking my time;
      B7         E
but I don t know where
           D          G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
       A      G
Seeing me and Julio,
D           E     A D A E
down by the schoolyard
       A      G
Seeing me and Julio,
D           E     A D A E
down by the schoolyard

A D A E  4x

           A             
Whoa, in a couple of days, they come and take me away,
                            D
but the press let the story leak
             E
Now when the radical priest, come to get me released,
                           A
we was all on the cover of Newsweek

               D
Well I m on my way;
             A
I don t know where I m going
          D                  A
I m on my way, I m taking my time;
      B7         E
but I don t know where
           D          G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
       A      G
Seeing me and Julio,
D           E     A D A E
down by the schoolyard
       A      G
Seeing me and Julio,
D           E     A D A E
down by the schoolyard
       A      G
Seeing me and Julio,
D           E     A D A E
down by the schoolyard
