Johnny's Song

Am                 C         G  
Johnny was working hard just 
      Am
like his father
        F                    G    
Cutting lumber at the sawill all 
   Am
day through
       G                   C    
In the evening hanging out at the 
   F
diner
        G                          
Waching Betty working, and her eyes
    Am
 so blue

Am             C        G      
Betty was the girl he'd always 
Am
wanted
            F                G     
But she was married to a man doing 
Am
time
         G                      C 
He was violent and mean, Boddy was
     F
 his name

    G                            
She knew when he got out, he'd do 
               Am
another crime

Am                         C     
He got out on parole, and heard 
   G      Am
she was untre
      F                        
So he beat her up real bad, and 
 G        Am
drove away
          G                     
She explained how she had fallen 
          C      F
down the stairs again
    G                              
But Johnny knew the truth, and 
                    Am
swore he'd make him pay

Am                     C 
He put the hammer down, and 
             G        Am
thundered down the road
             F G Am
He drove all night from town to town
          G               C   
But Boddy knew he'd come, so he 
   F
waited
           G                    
And at the break of dawn he shot 
                 Am
poor Johnny down

Am                 C        G    
He set fire to the body and 
  Am
headed home
          F                    G  
Betty was closing up the diner 
     Am
when he came
    G                              
She bolted the door but he brought 
C      F
gasoline
    G                            
And through the flames she called 
                   Am
out Johnny's name
