Johnny Sunrise 
The Fat Lady Sings from the album 'Johnson'

tab by Brian Beckmann

Intro:  D – G – D – G 

D                     G			     D
You're a star, he says, you've bottled your grace

G				      D
It's a laugh to watch you try to keep pace

G				    D          G
With the steps we made together one night with beer

 	        D    A      G  D
And you called me…   Johnny Sunrise

D              G               D
Johnny Sunrise walks away from me…

G					   D
Takes his time and he takes me too seriously

G                            D
Locks his thoughts away in a box he built

G	       D  A      G   D
While I was gone… Johnny Sunrise

CHORUS

    Bm	         F#m	       G         D
But remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out

   Em			      D			  Asus4–A	
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on…

Bm		          F#m
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

G              D		       C (hold…) 	    D (hold…)       
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry

         C (hold…)       D (hold…)
But then we weren't in a hurry…
 



V2

D                    G                           D
Our faces are mirrors lines and scars that we've earned

G					      D
All the classes we missed all the lessons we learned

G					 D
All the roads that we took that took us apart

	   G		       D    A         G            D     
Now you're sitting there saying,    "Let's go back to the start."

              D                 G          D
And he says, "Lose that luggage let it all go…”  

        G                                                    D
Job you got job you lost what it cost all the things you now know
	           
 
G     					        D                     
All the girls you once had and the man that you are

            G                   D
Let's climb off this world again

A         G       D
And climb into my car

A           G       D
Let's climb into my car

A     G          D (keep strumming‘D’)
Drive away in my car

CHORUS

    Bm	         F#m	       G        D
And remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out

   Em		              D			  Asus4–A	
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on…

Bm			  F#m
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

G	        D		       C 	           
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a million

                         C                        D
years, but then, we didn't have a million years, million years, 

million years…

Bm			  F#m
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

G	       D		       C(hold…) 	    D          
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry
             
C (hold…)                D  (stay on D to fade)
But then we weren't in a hurry…
