Johnny Boy

• C

Intro: 
C  Dm  Am  F   G  (2x) 


Verse: 

C 
He stays home home for work this time 
  Dm 
He never really told his wife 
   Am                           F             G                  C        Dm 
He never really told a lie but this time he decides that it's alright. 
    Am         F     G    
It's alright. 
C                                Dm 
No one really knows his mind and no one knows behind his eyes. 
   Am 
The man deserves a medal 
          F           G             C            Dm 
But he's never really won a prize before. 
                     Am        F     G 
He goes to lock the door. 


Pre-Chorus 

F     Am    G 
He is falling 
     C        Em    G    F  
And though he knows it's not 
     Am    G     Em        G 
The world looks down and frowns. 



C             Dm                 Am 
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy, 
                  F                  G              C 
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground. 
                    Dm                       Am 
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy. 
              F           G                C      Dm 
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now. 
            Am  F G 
We all need you now. 


C  Dm  Am  F   G 


Verse: 

C 
Someone said where you going 
Dm 
Someone said to you goodbye 
Am                                F                  G               C     Dm 
They deflect the disrespect when they say that they blame it on the times 
                      Am         F      G 
They blame it on the time. 
C                               Dm 
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife 
Am                                 F                   G                C  Dm 
They all know you're qualified but they lie when they blame it on the times. 
                        Am      F      G 
And we blame it on the times. 


Pre-Chorus 

F     Am    G 
He is falling 
     C        Em    G    F  
And though he knows it's not 
     Am    G     Em        G 
The world looks down and frowns. 



C             Dm                 Am 
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy, 
                  F                  G              C 
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground. 
                    Dm                       Am 
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy. 
              F           G               Am      F 
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now. 
             C          G    Ab5(#5) 
We all need you now 


Interlude: 

Am           F                  C            G        Ab5(#5) 
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame 
    Am            F                 C             G       Ab5(#5) 
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame 
    Am            F                 C             G       Ab5(#5) 
And I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame 


C             Dm                 Am 
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy, 
                  F                  G              C 
Get up cause the world has left you lying on the ground. 
                    Dm                       Am 
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy. 
              F           G                C 
Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now.
