Verse: 
G                     
I had some words with her old man 
Em 
When I asked him for her hand 
C                                         D 
Cause eye to eye, you know, we never could see 
 
G 
Now we're off and we're on our own 
Em 
As we head in to the danger zone 
C                                      D 
To find a little pink house for her and me 

G 
We did it for love 
             Em 
We did it for satisfaction 
           G 
It was the rage of the age  
        Em 
And the hour of the main attraction 
           C               D 
We finally said, enough is enough 
               C                    D 
We played it by ear, it came from the heart 
              G    Em  C  D 
We did it for love
 
 
Now Mary Beth is doin' all she can 
She had her child without her man 
She never cared to hear what the town folk would say 
They tried to talk her out of keepin' that boy 
But in this world she's found no greater joy 
Now she's a proud mama 
Watchin' the little man play 
 
Chorus (She did it?) 
 
 
My brother fought in the Vietnam war 
He left his job and his family chores 
I never understood when he said he couldn't let it be 
 
Now it's been twenty years or so 
He still talks about how regular joes were somethin' man 
Defendin' the land of the free 
 
Chorus (They did it..) 
Chorus (We did it?)
