... I remember a girl called Johnny... black as hell and white as a ghost
D                    F       G

D                   F      G
... They'd have torn her to pieces but who would dare?

Am                 G
... I remember a girl called Johnny... the train came to town, boy she got on it
D                     F         G
Without looking back, without a word she said goodbye, well I never heard
Am
but the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz
G
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
    D                     F    G     Am
And the house that a girl called johnny built is now-just-ash-es and sand
      G       D    F    G
Ashes and sand, ashes and sand

Am G D F G
Outro x6 (end of Am)
