Chords

Hayes's part is below. You can hear the other acoustic guitarist playing E7 during the intro and other alternative tunings to make the song grittier and more bluesy. The rhythm will be difficult to get without listening to this arrangement, especially with the words as they are. [Intro] |E G/E| |E G/E| [Verse 1]

    E
Oh, Little Johhny Walker caught a bullet last night

Runnin' from the guitar store He took a left down the alley, guess he should've gone right Now he ain't taken nothing no more, more, more

A7
Everybody knows it's a hard time

Livin' with hate and the greed

E
Most folks earn what they get for a livin'

Others just steal what they need

B7
Down on the corner, already talkin'

How they're gonna cut their teeth [Chorus]

E   N.C.
I'm out here just workin' for a dollar

                      G/E
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler

[Turnaround] |E G/E| |E G/E| E E [Verse 2]

    E
Oh, eighteen years, eighteen years

That's a long-old time to be Sittin' face down, stoned in the alley Wonderin' how to get to that shinin' sea

A7
Everybody knows it's a hard time

Livin' on the minimum wage

    E
Ah, some people just gonna sneak on through

Others gotta rattle that cage

B7
One of these days, I'm gonna find my way

Or else I'm gonna disappear [Chorus]

E   N.C.
I'm out here in the filth and squalor

                  B/E
all I wanna do is stomp and holler

[Bridge] |E G/E| E A7 E B7 E [Verse 3]

    E
Oh, rock and roll, ache and moan

Listen to the young girls scream Every time I get a little bit lucky I gotta wake up from a poor man's dream

A7
Heaven only knows how we get there

After all this trouble and strife

     E
From all I've seen, you only get one shot

At what you're gonna do in this life

    B7
Ah, what the hell, I guess I might as well

Take a chance and try my way [Chorus]

     E  N.C.
I'm like James Brown only white and taller

                      G/E
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler

[Outro] |E G/E| |E G/E| |E G/E| E
