[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?
[Chorus]
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 A
When you wake me, call me “darling”
[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 Bm
But I crossed this ocean to give it my best shot
[Instrumental]
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
[Chorus]
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 A
When you wake me, call me “darling”
Bm G
Hey Johnny, in the morning
D A Bm G
When you wake me, call me “darling”
D A Bm
When you wake me, call me “darling”
