Johnny's Song(Cavaco chords)

	        Am                 C         G        Am 
Johnny was working hard just like his father 
        F                    G       Am 
Cutting lumber at the sawill all day through 
       G                   C       F 
In the evening hanging out at the diner 
        G                              Am 
Waching Betty working, and her eyes so blue 

Am             C        G      Am 
Betty was the girl he'd always wanted 
            F                G     Am 
But she was married to a man doing time 
         G                      C      F 
He was violent and mean, Boddy was his name 
    G                                           Am 
She knew when he got out, he'd do another crime 

Am                         C        G      Am 
He got out on parole, and heard she was untre 
      F                         G        Am 
So he beat her up real bad, and drove away 
          G                               C      F 
She explained how she had fallen down the stairs again 
    G                                                  Am 
But Johnny knew the truth, and swore he'd make him pay 

Am                     C              G        Am 
He put the hammer down, and thundered down the road 
             F G Am 
He drove all night from town to town 
          G               C      F 
But Boddy knew he'd come, so he waited 
           G                                     Am 
And at the break of dawn he shot poor Johnny down 

Am                 C        G      Am 
He set fire to the body and headed home 
          F                    G       Am 
Betty was closing up the diner when he came 
    G                              C      F 
She bolted the door but he brought gasoline 
    G                                               Am 
And through the flames she called out Johnny's name
