Verse Palm Muted
E5
Johnny has a problem
C5               G5
Johnny is out of control
E5          C5
He had a TV party
D5                   G5
With the kids in the black hole
C5                D5
Stealing people's mail
G5               C5
And lynching the landlord
                  D5
Things to do when angry, young and bored

   E5             C5             G5          D5

Verse (same as first)
Johnny was only a lad
Johnny hates the scene
First he hit an old man
Then he hit and run Pauline
The record player spinning the best times
I never had
So why do my old records make me sad?

E5               C5
Cause they're so bad
G5                       D5
And no one seems to understand
             E5
The glory of guitar
            C5
When out of tune
          G5
The off timing
                      D5
The singers who can't sing
The beauty of flaw

Em
Johnny wasn't liked much, but he had a lot of friends
C
Waits on stage, eating ludes, A mindless brainwashed pig
G
Johnny was a good man, till the day that he got shot
D                                   D#
He had a jacked up chevy that could blow you off the spot
Em
Johnny always needs more than he takes
C
Forgets a couple chords, forgets a couple breaks
G
Johnny says he's bound by only six strings to this world
D                                D#
Johnny Quest hates sellout bands and Johnny Punk snorts ritilin
Em
And Johnny is an angry amputee
