verse 1

      A minorAm      Aadd11 A minorAm
Johnny was raised in the city,
A minorAm   G+G     A minorAm
And in that he rejoiced.
A minorAm          Aadd11 A minorAm
And the lovers he chose,
A minorAm   G+G    A minorAm
Didn't have no choice.
A minorAm            Aadd11 A minorAm
And the lives that he tore,
A minorAm   G+G      A minorAm
Didn't lose him no sleep.
A minorAm            Aadd11 A minorAm
And he knew he was a killer,
G+G      A minorAm
On a winning streak.

G+G      C majorC        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Is that any way for a man to live?
D MajorD     G+G       C majorC     D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
When he's given all that he had, to give.
D MajorD     G+G        C majorC     D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Wasn't it strange, that he wanted to die?
D MajorD     G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
Wasn't it strange, that nobody cried?

verse 2

   A minorAm    Aadd11 A minorAm
Come winter of 65'
A minorAm   G+G        A minorAm
He was working the race track.
A minorAm          Aadd11 A minorAm
He bet everything he had,
A minorAm    G+G           A minorAm
Even the shirt on his friend's back.
A minorAm            Aadd11 A minorAm
Got a tip about the horse from
G+G     A minorAm
Gino the gorilla.
A minorAm            Aadd11 A minorAm
Was the beginning of the end,
A minorAm   G+G      A minorAm
For our bold, young killer.

verse 3

     A minorAm      Aadd11 A minorAm
Gino had blown it and Johnny,
A minorAm G+G       A minorAm
He owed a lot of bread.
A minorAm                      Aadd11 A minorAm
And he remembered what the boys had told him and,
G+G   A minorAm
Johnny fled.
A minorAm             Aadd11 A minorAm
They found him in the east river
A minorAm   G+G       A minorAm
With a bullet in his eye.
A minorAm       Aadd11 A minorAm
And Johnny was free
A minorAm   G+G   A minorAm
At the age of 25.
