Verse 1:
B minorBm         D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm
Johnny was working hard just like his father,
    G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Cutting lumber at the sawmill all day through.
    A augmentedA          D MajorD   G+G
In the evening hanging out at the diner,
     A augmentedA               B minorBm
Watching Betty working, and her eyes so blue.

Verse 2:
B minorBm      D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm
Betty was the girl he'd always wanted,
      G+G      D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm
But she was married to a man doing time.
    A augmentedA         C majorC       G+G
He was violent and mean, Bobby was his name.
  A augmentedA                   B minorBm
She knew when he got out, he'd do another crime.

Verse 3:
B minorBm            D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm
He got out on parole, and heard she was untrue,
   G+G             A augmentedA   B minorBm
So he beat her up real bad, and drove away.
   A augmentedA                  D MajorD    G+G
She explained how she had fallen down the stairs again,
  G+G
But Johnny knew the truth, and swore he'd make him pay.

Verse 4:
B minorBm           D MajorD       A augmentedA    B minorBm
He put the hammer down, and thundered down the road.
       G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm
He drove all ni-i-i-ght from town to town.
     A augmentedA        D MajorD   G+G
But Bobby knew he'd come, so he waited,
      A augmentedA
And at the break of dawn he shot poor Johnny down.

Verse 5:
B minorBm         D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
He set fire to the body and headed home.
     G+G       D MajorD   A augmentedA    B minorBm
Betty was closing up the diner when he came.
  A augmentedA                 G+G
She bolted the door but he brought gasoline,
  A augmentedA                     B minorBm
And through the flames she called out Johnny's name...
