Chords for William Elliott Whitmore - "Johnny Law" Live at Pabst Theater (4/23/11)

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ All right, this song is called Johnny Law.
I [B] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
was driving down the road just [A] a mind of my [E] own when Johnny Law [B] pulled [Em] up from [E] behind. _ _
He walked up to my window [A] and said, roll [E] it down and [F#] let me see what I [B] can find.
I _ _
[E] said, no way, [A] what's mine [E] is mine and I'd appreciate it [B] if you'd leave [E] me be.
He said, I'll leave you be, all right, [A] in a cell [E] all night.
I'll lock you up [B] and throw away [E] the key.
He slapped [A] them cuffs on my wrists [Em]
[E] and my hands clenched into fists.
And I wished I could have punched him [B] in the jaw _ and knocked out old [E] Johnny Law.
Oh, [A] Johnny Law, _ [E] Johnny Law, _ he's the littlest man I [B] ever saw.
With [E] his badge and his gun, [A] he'll just hassle [E] everyone.
He'll get you [B] on the run, [E] Johnny Law. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He took me down to the _ statehouse and he [A] hurled that book [E] at me. _ _
And being in a cell is [A] like [E] being in hell for a [F#] man who longs to be [B] free. _ _
[E] I sat there and I wondered just [A] what gave this man [E] the right _ to leave me to rock here [A] on this rickety [E] cot,
[B] just staring at the [E] ceiling all night.
_ And [A] I [B] couldn't help but think of [Em] the words of my dear [A] departed pa.
_ [B] He said, do [N] the best you can to be a good man, but don't you never trust Johnny Law.
[B] _ Oh, Johnny [A] Law, [E] Johnny Law, he's the littlest man I [B] ever saw.
_ [E] With his badge and his gun, [A] he'll just hassle [E] everyone.
He'll get you [B] on the run, [E] Johnny Law. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, without any proof, they [A] couldn't keep [E] me there, so they let me out in the morning. _
_ That cop said, son, I don't [A] know what [E] you've done.
Just [F#] consider this a little [B] warning.
[E] I said, it must take a lot of nerve [A] to protect [E] and to serve, but I wonder [B] what it would be [E] like _
if you didn't have that badge or that gun or that [B] uniform to hide [E] behind. _
[A] And oh, I feel that this whole deal [E] I got was pretty damn wrong. _ _
My conscience is [A] clean because I'm a [E] human being and you're just [B] [E] Johnny Law.
Oh, Johnny [A] Law, [E] Johnny Law, you're the littlest man I [B] ever saw.
_ [E]
With your badge and your gun, [A] you just hassle [E] everyone.
He'll get you [B] on the run, [E] Johnny Law.
With his badge and his gun, [A] he'll just hassle [E] everyone.
You'll never get me [B] on the run, [E] Johnny Law. _
