Intro:

B minorBm F# minorF#m E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA (2x)


Verse 1:

B minorBm    F# minorF#m      E minorEm     A augmentedA
Have a seat and I'll tell you a tale

   E minorEm     A augmentedA    E minorEm A augmentedA
It wasn't that long ago..

    B minorBm       F# minorF#m     E minorEm       A augmentedA
About a guy who turned out to be a cheater got the heater

     E minorEm  A augmentedA   E minorEm  A augmentedA
So the story goes:

B minorBm          F# minorF#m        E minorEm
He tried the playboy-thing on two friends

A augmentedA           E minorEm  A augmentedA  E minorEm A augmentedA
Thinking that they'd never know.

   B minorBm     F# minorF#m     E minorEm      A augmentedA
They say he got caught in a trap and it snapped

     E minorEm   A augmentedA      E minorEm  A augmentedA
He's not around anymore...


Chorus:

Poor Johnny,

D MajorD           F# minorF#m
He came home looking cool one day,

B minorBm            G+G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

        D MajorD          F# minorF#m
Once from the left... then from the right

        B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
They took him down, late that night.


Verse 2:

  B minorBm      F# minorF#m      E minorEm       A augmentedA
Now everyone in town knew he always played around

      E minorEm    A augmentedA    E minorEm  A augmentedA
But not a word was said.

       B minorBm    F# minorF#m
All the money and the clothes,

     E minorEm     A augmentedA          E minorEm  A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA
And the cars that he drove just kept his ego fed.

     B minorBm      F# minorF#m       E minorEm     A augmentedA
To his friends he was king, cause he thought of everything

       E minorEm   A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA
Except his number one.

       B minorBm      F# minorF#m    E minorEm      A augmentedA
She had the kids and the house, while he was always out

       E minorEm    A augmentedA  E minorEm A augmentedA
Leaving his homework undone.


Chorus:

Poor Johnny,

D MajorD           F# minorF#m
He came home looking cool one day,

B minorBm            G+G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

        D MajorD          F# minorF#m
Once from the left... then from the right

        B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
They took him down, late that night.


Verse 3:

A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Then one day his luck ran out.

       B minorBm           F# minorF#m
When number two found a number and called his house.

 A augmentedA                F# minorF#m
Word on the street is that they talked all night

       A7A7
They had to teach him a lesson,

      A7A7
They had to make things right.


Chorus:

Poor Johnny,

D MajorD           F# minorF#m
He came home looking cool one day,

B minorBm            G+G
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

        D MajorD          F# minorF#m
Once from the left... then from the right

        B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
They took him down, late that night.
