Be Good Johnny Chords by Men At Work

Be Good Johnny chords by Men At Work

Guitar chords with lyrics

During the chorus and verses, keyboards and guitar are rolling back and forth with D, C, Bm, C, D, etc. In the
pre-chorus, guitar goes back and forth on F and G. Then for the Be good be good's, the D, C, Bm, C pattern
continues. It was hard to indicate in the notation,
but the final C of the "be good" stanzas occurs precisely when the background singers say "Jooohnny."

Verse:
D       C
Skip de skip, up the road
Bm        C
Off to school we go
D               C
"Don't you be a bad boy Johnny
 Bm             C
Don't you slip up or play the fool"

D     C
"Oh no Ma, Oh no Da,
Bm          C
I'll be your golden boy
D      C       Bm   C
I will obey ev'ry golden rule"
