Ballad Of Kathryn Johnston chords by Shawn Mullins

This is the my first attempt at this go easy.  I watched him play it on youtube
I'm pretty sure its accurate

Great Song... Enjoy





F
Old Miss Johnston lived all alone
                                     Am
On the sorry side of town

Am
Broke down cars and burglar bars

          F
On the windows and doors

                                           Am
In case danger comes around

Am
Sittin' in her yellow kitchen

Am
Listenin' to bad news on a AM radio

Am
It used to be Louis Armstrong
F

Then Martin Luther King

                                       Am
Where did everybody go?


Am
Out the window where her garden was

Am
It's not safe to go outside

                                G
Old Miss Johnston in the eye of the storm

Am
It was the safest place to hide


F
Yeah life's a gamble for the broken and the weak

                                                             Am
Dealin' with the bangers and the drugs

Am
The whinos weave and amble

F
And shuffle on down the street

                                           Am
Steerin' clear of all the thugs


Am
And now my city hangs her head in shame

Am
You can't tell the truth from all the lies

                                                G
Everything changed forever and everything stayed the same

Am
On the night Miss Johnston died
