A minorAm G+G
... I remember a girl called Johnny... the train came to town, boy she got on it
D MajorD FF G+G
Without looking back, without a word she said goodbye, well I never heard
A minorAm
but the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz

And the truth is in somebody else's hands

And the house that a girl called johnny built is now-just-ash-es and sand
G+G D MajorD FF G+G
Ashes and sand, ashes and sand
