As recorded by Thin Lizzy (From the 1976 Album JOHNNY THE FOX) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] A5 C5 E5 F5 E5 A5 C5 E5 A5 C5 B5 E5 F5 E5 A5 C5 E5 G5 [Verse 1]
A5               C5
Somewhere on the waterfront

D5                     C5  G5
Johnny's hiding with a gun

A5                C5                     D5
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story

                   F5        G5    
He ain't sorry for what he's done

A5              C5
He broke into a drugstore

D5                 C5    G5
Just to cure a daily need

A5                     C5
He didn't mean to shoot the guard

    D5                      F5  G5
But he was blinded by the greed
[Chorus]
A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny

A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
[Verse 2]
A5                C5
You see that nun, she's his sister

D5                      C5         G5
She doesn't know that he's gone bad

A5                C5
When they told it to his father

D5                   F5  G5
It drove the old man mad

A5            C5
Just like his mother warned him

D5            C5   G5
From her dying bed

A5                C5
It's all right to lose your heart

D5        C5        F5  G5
But never lose your head
[Chorus]
A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny

A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny    look out
[Guiatr Solo] A5 C5 E5 F5 E5 A5 C5 E5 A5 C5 E5 F5 E5 A5 C5 E5 [Verse 3]
        A5                        C5
Now the cops have got him surrounded

       D5                  C5 G5
And he doesn't stand a hope

A5                      C5
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble

D5                 F5  G5
Over just a little dope

A5              C5
Five to one he gets away

D5                           C5  G5
That's the odds I'm going to give

A5                C5
Five to four they blast him away

D5                         F5  G5
Three to one he's going to live
[Chorus]
A5         G5        
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny

E5         
Oh Johnny, you better run

A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
[Verse 4]
A5                       C5
Back in the alley where he was slain

D5                          C5  G5
I thought I heard something move

A5                   C5
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain

D5                   F5     G5
The picture had been removed

A5           C5
Just another junkyard juicer

D5            C5  G5
Looking for a bed

A5                C5
It's all right to lose your heart

D5                  F5  G5
But never lose your head
[Chorus]
A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny

A5         G5        E5
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny    look out
