Colt 45

Johnny grew up on an Indiana farm
F                C
Family never did anyone harm
                             Bb
Said, "I ain't no farmer but I'll 
survive
       F                         C
With a good fast car and a Colt 45"
                             Bb
John's daddy was a good man, prayed 
every day
       F                          
Said, "Don't let Johnny throw his 
C
life away
                          Bb
It's in your hands, Lord, keep him 
alive
           F                     
While he's runnin' with the devil 
             C
and a Colt 45"

[Chorus]
            C             Bb
'Cause he's public enemy, wanted man
F                            C
Runnin' from the law just as fast he
 can
                         Bb
Runnin' from the law and stayin' 
alive
       F                         C
With a good fast car and a Colt 45

[Verse 2]

Mr. Hoover said, "Boys, I want this 
man
      F                           
Don't matter how you get him, any

way you can

              Bb
Bring him in, dead or alive
       F                         
Better take a fast car and a Colt

45"
So they caught him and they put him 
    Bb
the Ground Horn jail
       F                           
He was laughin' and jokin', didn't 
C
have no bail
                                 Bb
He wouldn't know a pistol from a bar
 of soap
   F                               
He stole a car headed to the end of
       C
 the road

[Chorus]
            C             Bb
'Cause he's public enemy, wanted man
F                            C
Runnin' from the law just as fast he
 can
                         Bb
Runnin' from the law and stayin' 
alive
       F                         C
With a good fast car and a Colt 45

The chew men found him in Chicago 
town
     F                          
They knew he'd be leavin' from a 
 C
movie house
                         Bb
Walkin' with a woman all dressed in 
red
       F                        
He was goin' for his pistol when

He's public enemy number one
F                   C
Livin' on the road, livin' by the 
gun
                           Bb
He ended up losin' when he tried to 
stay alive

Shakin' hands with the devil and a
