dealing drugs

(refrão)
Am
One day there was a clash between 
the blue and the red
F                               
When the fighting was over, Johnny 
E7
lay dead
Am
A single rose stands alone upon 
Johny's grave
F
Think nothing would have happened
  E7
If Johnny Mahoe just turned and
Am         E7    Am
walked the other way
      Am        E7    Am
Just walked the other way
