Chords for “Run Johnny Run” - a Jimmy Driftwood song , fretless banjo and mouth bow

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Howdy folks many years ago I sent a check to the National Geographic Society and they sent me this
_ long play record album in the mail
_ Music of the Ozarks and one of the tunes on here featured Jimmy Driftwood _
Playing a mouth bow
So I made myself one of those
_ And he was singing a tune called run Johnny run
And it was about moonshiners
being charged an excise tax
Alexander Hamilton imposed a special whiskey tax in
1791 and it caused riots in Western, Pennsylvania
so that in
_ 1794 Washington had to send troops
There to put down the big [C#] insurrection
_ _ Anyway here goes my attempt to sing and play this song.
Hope you enjoy it

_ Johnny was down at the moonshine still in the bottom of the holler by the side of the hill
He woke up at the break of day
He thought he heard his grandpa say run Johnny run the Federals get you run Johnny run
You better get away run Johnny run the Federals again.
You're running Johnny.
You better get away _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Johnny stopped at the top of the hill, and he saw them Federals around the still
They busted the barrel and the boiler to started drinkin is mountain dew run Johnny run the Federals
I'll get you done Johnny run.
You better get away run Johnny run the Federals get you run Johnny.
Run you better get away

_ _ _ _ _ The feds got [D] Johnny [C] making a run, they took him to Washington, put him to work for the
government, making him shine for the president.
Run Johnny run, the feds will get you, run Johnny run, you better get away.
Run Johnny run, the feds will get you, run Johnny run, you better get away. _ _ _

_ _ _ Johnny got rich at the government stills, and he ran off to his home in the hills.
Now the feds are on his track, cause he still owes a dollar on the whiskey tax.
Run Johnny run, the feds will get you, run Johnny run, you better get away.
Run Johnny run, the feds will get you, run Johnny run, you better get away. _ _ _ _ _
