Verse Bm G D Well me and Johnny on the road seeing rainbows doubled and looking for a pot o’ gold Bm G But for every farm in Technicolor green there’s a bruising sky, D beneath we’re just maggots on the asphalt road G F#m G A Well every place has got its history, and you’d erase if it’d set you free Bm G But is it worth another landscaped wasted to just move on D Johnny, can’t we make the best of it?Verse Bm G D She’s gonna call me when she’s down just to knock me around, long about Michigan Bm G We wander parallel lives and I don’t know why, D Sometimes it hurts just to know she breathes G F#m G A Johnny, she’s got what I need, but she’s gonna let me bleed Bm G D And I’ll just be misty-eyed again at the Olympia-Inn, and adding to that pouring rain Verse G D A Forget it Johnny, we were rocking’ some kind of crazy scene G D A I set myself back, it’s just a land grab and I got more than I need G A And after all these miles, I’m just a homesick pup D G But I crossed this ocean to give it my best shot Instrumental Bm D A Bm D ABm G Johnny, I’ve sung with pleasure D A It’s a good life, there is no measure Bm G Hey Johnny, in the morning D D When you wake me, call me “darling”Bm G Johnny, I’ve sung with pleasure D A It’s a good life, there is no measure Bm G Hey Johnny, in the morning D D When you wake me, call me “darling”
