Mary Jo by Belle And Sebastian Mary Jo - Belle and Sebastian ----------------------------- Tabbed By Caz1977 Great song, simple is best, as with most of Belle and Sebastian's songs, especially the ones. I've tabbed this version with alternate chords for a different key a full step lower than the song as it's easier to play with simpler chords if you don't want to play along with the song. They're listed below.
