Mary and Joseph (as sung by Tim Mcgraw) Capo 4th fret rubbertoe 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.
