Lost Johnny chords by Hawkwind

Lost Johnny
===========
    G  A
You only get a single chance
     G    A
The rules are very plain
      G   A
The truth is well concealed inside
     G A
the details of the game
         D  E
You can see it coming
         D   E
You can hear it from afar
      D   E
It's pale and it flickers
        C     D      G-A
Like a faded movie sta-ar

    D    E
And up there in the castle
          D E
they're trying to make us scream
     D  E
by sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
     C     D         G-A
and cancelling the dre-am

 D   E
Can you find the Valium?
 D   E
Can you bring it soon?
 C            D                        G-A
Lost Johnny's out there baying at the Mo-on

     G    A
The time has come for you to choose
           G  A
and you'd better get it right
 G  A
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth
     G  A
are waiting in the night

        D      E
But you ought to really get some
    D   E
It surely can't be hard
        D  E
There's always trouble waiting
          C         D         G-A
when you leave your own back ya-ard

    D     E
And underneath the city
    D  E
the alligators sing
       D    E
about how the puppets cannot dance
       C       D           G-A
since someone cut their stri-ings

 D  E
Run and get the morphine
     D     E
for God's sake make it brief
 C            D                      G-A
Lost Johnny's out there looking for relief

        G     A
Now he sounds and looks so evil
          G   A
and you know he really tries
    G   A
but every time he makes a play
      G A
that vital number dies

     D  E
And Sally buys her underwear
         D     E
from a store where no-one goes
     D    E
She makes it big in photographs
          C          D        G-A
on the strength of what she sho-ows

     D   E
And here inside the waiting room
     D  E
the radio still screams
     D    E
And we're all taking Tuenol
    C     D           G-A
to murder our young dre-ams

 D  E
Run and fetch your credit card
  D  E
Try to make it quick
 C            D                            G-A
Lost Johnny's out there trying to turn a tri-ick
