Met Mary Joanna just the other day
    D          D/A              C         G
And she was so neat she took my blues away
     D            D/A          C               G
From early in the morning till last in the night
D           D/A      C          G
Mary Joanna makes me feel alright

Now when you're high when you open your mind
But since I used this-the sorrow goodbye
And when you're high when you have your way
And everyone's gotta have their say

It's hot when there's nothing to say
And everybody gets in your way
Set my mind on fire
yea yea yea
