Intro: Am Aadd11 Am G Am (x2)

verse 1

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

G           C                D Dsus4 D
Is that any way for a man to live?
D         G              C          D Dsus4 D
When he's given all that he had, to give.
D         G                C         D Dsus4 D
Wasn't it strange, that he wanted to die?
D         G             C      D
Wasn't it strange, that nobody cried?

verse 2

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

G           C                D Dsus4 D
Is that any way for a man to live?
D         G              C          D Dsus4 D
When he's given all that he had, to give.
D         G                C         D Dsus4 D
Wasn't it strange, that he wanted to die?
D         G             C      D
Wasn't it strange, that nobody cried?

verse 3

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

Lord, lord, lord, lord!

Is that any way for a,

A man to live?
G               C
When he's given all that he,

He had to give.
          G
Wasn't it strange?

That he wanted to,

Up and die.
          G       C
Wasn't it strange?

Nobody cried for this poor boy.
