How about we do one for Johnny Thunders?
[E] [A#] Oh yeah.
[D]
I tried to [G] try, [B] all the best [D] boys ain't no why
Doesn't mean [G] I didn't try
[B] [F#] Lord knows [D] I tried and tried
So cold and all [G] alone
[B]
Beat [D] myself against the wall
And when I'm home I'm not [G] alone
[B]
Big [D] deal I'm still alone
[G] Cause you can't [A] put your arms [D] around a memory
[G] You can't [A] put your arms around [D] a memory
I [G]
can't put my arms around [D] a Johnny
[G] So don't cry, [A] don't cry
[D]
[A] [D]
And it's hard, man it's so hard
And it's a lonely planet you're in
You [D] bring my soul from [F#] your own poor [G] last sweat
I'm a lonely planet and [A] I'm trying
[D]
[A] Oh, oh, oh
You pick me up [G] while driving in your car
And when [D] I tell you where I'm going
You [G] always tell me that's too far
[A] And I could be driving a car by my home
[Fm] [G] I ain't got all day, all
[D] [A] alone
[D]
And [A] it's [D]
[A] [D] a lonely planet you're in
You bring my soul from [Am] your own [G] poor last sweat
I'm a lonely planet and [A] I'm trying
Yeah, I'm trying
[D]
[G]
[D] [G]
[Am]
[A] [Am]
[G]
Oh,
[D]
oh, oh
[A]
[D] Can't you hear them calling a [G] thousand times a day
[D] I don't understand
I [G] think they're words my father said
[Em] [A] But me and you, I know what's right
[G] From the days we got over
We [E] got over [D] every [A] night
[D]
Oh, oh, oh
And [E]
[D] it's a lonely planet you're in
You bring my soul from your [E] own poor last [G] sweat
I'm a lonely planet and [A] I'm trying
Can't you see that I'm crying
Don't you know that I'm dying
Oh, [D]
[A] [D] oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm a lonely [Dm]
[D] planet and I'm trying
Thank [F#] you!
