Chords for St. Vincent - Happy Birthday Johnny (piano version) (Audio)

Remember on Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
[Bb] Intended it as a cautionary tale
[Gm] You said you saw yourself inside there
[F] Dark-haired it like a how-to manual
_ [Bb] Remember on summer we walked in Times Square
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stairs
[Gm] You took a pic, set your hotel on fire
[F] We took the plane, took the bags to the train
Happy [Eb] birthday, Johnny, _ [F] _
[D] wherever you [Gm] are
_ [Dm] _ _ _
[Eb] Happy birthday, Johnny, [F] _ _
wherever [Bb] you are _ _ _ _
_ Last time you called it was on New Year's Eve
You asked me for dough to get something to eat
[Gm] Since we last spoke you live on the street
I [F] wouldn't believe all the shit that you've seen
Happy [Eb] New Year, Johnny
[F] _ _ [D] Is it twenty [Gm]-three?
_ _ [Dm] _ _ Happy [Eb] New Year, Johnny
[F] _ Are there lights on [Bb] the trees? _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] When I said, let me think, and you yelled through your teeth
Accused me of acting like all royalty
_ [Gm] _ Always for show, no true charity
_ [F] You've seen me on magazines and TV
[Bb] But they only knew the real version of me
[Bbm] Only you know the secrets, the swamp and the fear
What [Gm] happens to blood, our family
_ [F] Annie, how could you do this to me?
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [D] Of course I [Gm] blame me
_ _ [Dm] _ _
When you [Eb] get free, Johnny
_ [F] I hope you find [Bb] peace _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
