We've been getting a few email requests for chords for our tune "Johnnie." I hope this makes things easier! I'm only going to paste the basics here, there's too much extra pizazz to tab out. There's a capo on one, putting the studio version in Db. Here are the chords:
VERSE
C
Johnnie all your hundred songs
F
learned them on the guitar
C
played them in the mirror
G
pretended they were mine
C
Johnnie what a knack for words
F
each one cuts me deeper
C
strong enough to make you near
G E7
when you're far away
CHORUS
Am B/G C
Johnnie is your suitcase tight?
F
you say goodbye to no one
C
leave a mess of paper
G E7
and make way for the coast
Am B/G C
Honey all your bridges burned
F
should you find your boots worn
C
I will patch your soles
G
if you swear you'll walk with me
Then the verse chords repeat:
Johnnie, I could be your queen
No more nights of long dreams
You could be the stronger man
To sleeps between these sheets
But never with your lips sewn shut
I can only do so much
Won't lift a finger
'Til you show me where it hurts
No more nights of long dreams
You could be the stronger man
To sleeps between these sheets
But never with your lips sewn shut
I can only do so much
Won't lift a finger
'Til you show me where it hurts
CHORUS
BRIDGE
C F Gaug
It's the way I'm gonna love you
C F E7
It's the way I'm gonna love you
It's the way I'm gonna love you
Am
It's the way I'm gonna love you
It's the way I'm gonna love you
Am/G#
The only way I know to
The only way I know to
G D7
And I'll lay my candid loving on the line
And I'll lay my candid loving on the line
F Gaug C
It's the way I'm gonna love you
It's the way I'm gonna love you
What an excellent idea. I'm going to learn this song yet!
ReplyDeleteWe'd all love the pizazz! Such a great song it'd be a shame not for more people to learn it.
