G                            C 
Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends, 
G                             D 
All through thier high school days, 
G                   C 
Both members of the 4H club,  
     G             D   G  
Both active in the F.F.A. 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G                     C              G                               
After graduation Mary Ann went out lookin, 
                 D 
for a bright new world, 
G                C 
Wanda looked all around this town, 
     G       D         G - C 
And all she found was Earl, 
 
 
(verse 3) 
G 
Well it wasn't two weeks, 
       C 
After she got married that, 
G                     D 
Wanda started gettin' abused, 
           G                C 
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses, 
    G          D       G 
And make up to cover a bruise, 
 
 
(verse 4) 
G                                 C 
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce, 
G                            D 
She let the law take it from there, 
    G                                C 
But Earl walked right through that restraining order, 
    G              D       G - C - G - C 
And put her in intensive care,

     Em                  D  
Right away Mary Ann flew in from Atlanta, 
      C                G 
On a red eye midnight flight, 
         Em 
She held Wanda's hand as they, 
D 
Worked out a plan, 
       C                        D 
And it didn't take 'em long to decide, 
                  G - C - G 
That Earl had to die, 

    D   C                       G - C   
Goodbye Earl, Those black-eyed peas, 
             G           D   C 
They tasted all right to me Earl, 
         G  -  C    
feelin' weak, 
              G               D    C       
Why don't you lay down, And sleep Earl, 
           G - C   
Ain't it dark, 
         G          D    C  - G - C - G - C 
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl,

The cops came by to bring Earl in, 
          A                           E 
And they searched the house high and low,

Then they tipped thier hats,  
          D                       A             E      A
