Johnny Law Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

AmOld man Johnny Law, he came knockinEm' on my door

AmI shot him dead, twice in the head

EmHe won't bother me no more

AmI'm going down to Texas

EmWhere the city meets the sun

FI think it's time I lay down Emmy guns Am

FI think it's time I lay down Emmy guns Am

So I found myself a chapel

Bowed my head and learned to pray

When I saw the preacher's daughter

She turned her eyes my way

She climbed into my back seat

And I showed her all of my scars

Lord knows we can fall so far

Lord knows we can fall so far

DmBut my skin is so thick that I don't fAmeel at all

EmAnd when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'llAm call

DmSee my hands are so calloused and bAmruised

FMy heart will stay black and blEmue Am

I took a job in Mississippi working on the train

That's where I learned to gamble and to drink away my pain

When my fears grab hold of me they call me by my name

Lord knows I can't change

Lord knows I can't change

But my skin is so thick that I don't feel at all

And when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'll call

See my hands are so calloused and bruised

My heart will stay black and blue

(guitar solo) Play chorus chords

So I'll take what I've been given

I can't change the things I've done

Lord knows my time has come

Lord knows my time has come

(guitar solo 2)Play chorus chords

Yeah my skin is so thick that I don't feel at all

And when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'll call

See my hands are so calloused and bruised

My heart will stay black and blue
