[C]
Well, they closed down the auto plant in my wildly dead mom.
Ralph went out looking for a job, but he couldn't [G] find none.
He [C] came home too drunk from mixing [F] tannery and wine.
Got a gunshot in [G] night club, now they call him Johnny [C] 99.
Come on!
Down in the bar town, wearing your hillbilly and your old swan.
Shady's waving his gal around, letting the [G] boys talk.
[C] Wearing all the beauty tops, her hair pony from [F] Biddy High.
Down in front [C] of the club tip top, [G] they slam the girls on Johnny 99.
[F] Shady's a proud, humble family, John's a mean, drunk man.
Came to the courtroom, stared young [G] Johnny down.
[C] Well, he had just a spirit, don't like to send his son to the prime.
He's a proud, he ain't a yip, [G] we'll call him even Johnny [C] 99.
Come on, Professor!

I [F] finished my act in the courtroom, [C] they had to drive Tommy's girl away.
Mama stood up against Shady, just won't take my [G] boy this way.
[C] Son, you got an interesting million life you made.
Before the [G] bail comes, [G]
they'll never take [C] you away.
Oh!
[Ab]
Now, [N] Judge, Judge, I had debts no honest man could pay.
Was holding my mortgage, they were gonna take my house away.
Well, now, I ain't saying that makes me an innocent man.
It [Eb] was more than all [F] this, Judge, up to that.
[C]
Well, you're all right, but me, I'd be better off dead.
If you can take a man's life for the thoughts [G] that's in his head.
[Eb]
[Ebm] [C] Back in that chair, thank you, over, Judge, one more [F] time.
[C] Shave off my [G] hair, put [Fm] me on that [C] killing line.
[G] Woo!
[C]
Shave that thing off, man!
