Start Jamming...
[C] [Dm] [F] Well, it goes down the old way, my Wally had [C] one.
Well, well, look for a job, but he [Gm] couldn't find none.
[C] He hoped to draw from his [F] town where he had one.
[C] Got a good Saturday night, but they call him Johnny [Bb] 99.
[C] Now, the Lord is coming, and the airway that you look for,
Johnny's where you're gonna be, Johnny's where you're gonna be.
Well, he never [G] [Gm] stopped, [C]
off to the count of three,
calling [F] from the dead of night.
Now, [C] he's running from his [G] heart,
he's not the kind of guy [C] you know how to get on.
[F] Said he's so fly, but he wasn't prepared,
[C] like a giant, his feet so brown.
He came out to the car park,
and said, you're [G] Johnny Jack.
[C] Well, it's clear, I've got the strangest song in the class,
looks like I'm gonna hate me,
[G] calling him Johnny [C] 99.
Super Susie!
[G] [C]
[Cm] Professor O'Riddle!
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [Gm]
[C] You [F] betcha, you [C] betcha.
[Gm] The [C]
[E] [F] face I had for him, the forehead I swore to,
[C] but I got Johnny's girl away.
He promised me all, but he's gone,
just don't take my [G] boy's life.
[C] Son, you gotta be safe, or your life's a grave.
You better be careful, or the man [G] comes,
and he'll [C] take you away.
Judge, Judge, that gets no honest man to pay.
The bank was holding my mortgage,
coming to take [G] my house away.
[C] Well, I ain't saying that,
makes [D] me an innocent man.
Use [F] moral [G] as Judge Jack,
[C] put that gun in my hand.
[Bb] Sir!
What I do [C] is bleed, I keep it off that.
[Bb] You [C] can take a man's life,
but the [Gm] thoughts I keep,
[C] sit back and I drink,
take it over, [Bb] you're the one [F] boy.
[Bb] Say no more,
[G] put [Gm] me on a [C] killing line.
[Bb] [C]
I'm sorry!
[G] [C] I'm [Fm]
