F# F# B
F#  B  F#  C#  B


[Verse]
F#                   
  Mary Anne and Wanda
          B
were the best of friends
F#                             C#
All through their high school days
F#                   B
Both members of the 4H club
     F#             C#  F#
Both active in the FFA
F#                     
  After graduation Mary
  B             F#
Anne went out lookin'
                 C#
for a bright new world
F#                 B
Wanda looked all around this town
    F#       C#         F#
And all she found was Earl


[Verse]
        F#
Well it wasn't two weeks
          B
After she got married that
F#                      C#
Wanda started gettin' abused
           F#            
  She put on dark glasses
     B
and long sleeved blouses
    F#          C#       F#
And make up to cover a bruise
         F#               
  Well she finally got the
          B
nerve to file for divorce
    F#                        C#
She let the law take it from there
    F#                         
  But Earl walked right through
         B
that restraining order
    F#            C#       F#
And put her in intensive care


[Pre-chorus]
       D#m            
  Right away Mary Anne
      C#
flew in from Atlanta
     B                F#
On a red eye midnight flight
         D#m
She held Wanda's hand as they
C#
Worked out a plan
       B           
  And it didn't take
               C#    \
'em long to decide


[Chorus]
                 F#   B  F#
That Earl had to die
    C#   B
Goodbye Earl
                 F#    B   F#
Those black-eyed peas
B           F#            C#  B
They tasted all right to me Earl
               F#
You're feelin' weak
B             F#
Why don't you lay down
    C#     B
And sleep Earl
         F#
Ain't it dark
B       F#          C#    B
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl


[Bridge]
F# B 2x


[Verse]
F#                   B
The cops came by to bring Earl in
F#
They searched the house
         C#
High and low
          F#
Then they tipped their hats
          B                   
  And said: thank you ladies if
     F#             C#      F#
you hear from him let us know


[Verse]
         F#
Well the weeks went by and
 B
Spring turned to Summer
    F#                 C#
And Summer faded into Fall
       F#            
  And it turns out he
       B
was a missing person
    F#      C#         F#
Who nobody missed at all


[Pre-chorus]
       D#m
So the girls bought some land
      C#
And a roadside stand
B                F#
Out on Highway 109
          D#m
They sell Tennessee ham
     C#
And strawberry jam
         B
And they don't
                  C#
Lose any sleep at night 'cause


[Chorus]
            F#   B   F#
Earl had to die
    C#   B
Goodbye Earl
          C    \
We need a break
B        F#          C#    B
Let's go out to the lake Earl
             F#
We'll pack a lunch
B         F#          C#     B
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
                 F#
Well is that all right
