Biography:
Johnny Thunders, born John Anthony Genzale, Jr (July 15, 1952 - April 23, 1991), was a rock and roll guitarist and singer, first with the New York Dolls, the proto-punk glam rockers of the early '70s. During the late '70s, he was a familiar figure on the New York punk scene, both with The Heartbreakers and as a solo artist. His screeching, penetrating guitar sound is distinctive and highly influential in punk rock music. Thunders tangled with the demons of fame and drug addiction until his death on April 23, 1991 of a methadone overdose.

"Lonely Planet Boy" by Johnny Thunders
Transcribed by Joe Blowe ([email protected])
This great song originally appeared on one of the two New York Dolls
albums. As I haven't
owned either for years, I can't recall most of the lyrics. If anyone can
fill in the
rest Johnny will thank you from his grave.
D+ = D with added G on bottom E string
D- = D with bottom E open
Sorry I don't know the proper name of these cords.
D
It's a lonely planet boy when
bring me songs from all your boys well
G A
I'm a lonely planet boy I'm trying
D D+ D D- D D+ D D-
Baby for your love
A
whoah whoah yeah
She picks me up
She's out driving in her car
always asking me where I'm going
always telling me it's too far
How can she be driving
Out by my home
When she knows I ain't got one
I'm so all alone
Whoa Whoa Whoa yeah
[Something Something Something]
'bout a million miles away
[something something something]
[something] things I cannot say
