Johnson Song chords by Mt. Joy

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:

E                    A
Take me out of California
     B
Been running with the band
E                         A
Sunny day, in line for pizza



           B
When the rain came pouring in
               E           A     B
But there's a band at the Bitter End
             E            A        B
And they are playing your favorite song
          E           A          B
Oh, but you play the tambourine wrong

Chorus:

(They're singing)
  E           A             B
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
  B
Dance away 'cause a Johnson's coming
    E           A           B
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
    B
Dance away 'cause a Johnson's coming


Verse 2:
       E                   A
The drummer plays like no tomorrow
         B
Loudest band I've ever heard
       E                A
I knew just what it was, but
         B
I could not hear a word
         E                 A      B
And they're playing that Pixies song
      E         A         B
Yes, you know just what I want
     E          A           B
As you play the tambourine wrong

(They're singing)
E             A            B
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la

Dance away 'cause a Johnson's coming
 E             A           B
