Verse 1
(G major) Spanish
Johnny drove (C major) in from the un (D major) derworld last night
With bruised arm (G major) s and broken rhythm
And a beat- (C major) up old Buick but dressed (G major)
just like dynam (D major) ite
He tried sellin' (G major) his heart to the
hard (C major) girls over on easy (D major) Street
But they said, Johnny, (G major) it falls apart so (C major) easy
And you know (G major) hearts
these days are cheap (D major)
And the pimps (C major) swung their axes and said,
Johnny, you're a (G major) cheater
And the pimps (C major) swung their axes and said,
Johnny, (G major) you're a liar
And from (C major) out of the shadows
came a young girl's voice
Said, Johnny, don't (G major) cry
(C major) Puerto (G major) Rican (C major) Jane, (G major) (C major) oh,
(G major) won't you tell (C major) me, what's your (G major) name?
I want to drive (C major) you down (G major) to the
other (C major) side of town (G major)
Where para (C major) dise ain't
so (G major) crowded
And there'll be (C major) action goin'
down on Shanty (G major) Lane tonight
All the golden- (D major) heeled fairies
in a real (C major) bitch- fight
Pull thirty- eight's and (G major) kiss
their girls goodnight

Verse 2
Oh, goodnight, (G major) it's (C major) alright, Jane (D major)
Now let them (G major) black boys (C major) in
to light the soul (D major) flame
We may (G major) find it out on the street (C major) tonight,
(D major) baby
Or we (G major) may walk until (C major) the daylight,

(D major)
Verse 3
Well, like a cool (G major) Romeo he made (C major) his moves,
oh, she (D major) looked so fine
Like a late (G major) Juliet, she knew she'd (C major) never be true but then,
she (D major) really didn't mind
Upstair (G major) s a band was playin'
And the singer (C major) was singin'
something about go (D major) ing home
She whispered, Spanish (G major) Johnny,
you can leave me tonight
(C major) But just don't (D major) leave me alone
And Johnny cried,
(C major) Puerto Ric (G major) an (C major) Jane (G major)
(C major) Word is (G major) down,
the cops (C major) have (G major) found the vein
Oh, them (C major) barefoot boys (G major) left
their homes (C major) for the woods
(G major) Them little bare (C major) foot street boys, (G major)
they said their (C major) homes ain't (A minor) no good
(G major) They left the corners,
(D major) threw away all of their switchblade (C major) knives
And kissed (G major) each other (D major) goodbye
Verse 4
Johnny was (G major) sittin' on the fire escape,
watch (C major) in' the kids playin' down the street (D major)
He called down, hey (G major) little heroes,
summer's long
(C major) But I guess it ain't very sweet
around (D major) here anymore
Janey sleep (G major) s in sheets
damp with sweat
(C major) Johnny sits up alone and watches (D major) her dream on,
dream on
And the sis (G major) ter prays for lost souls
Then (C major) breaks down in the chapel
af (D major) ter everyone's gone
Verse 5
Jane (G major) moves over to share her pillow
But (C major) opens her eyes to see Johnny
up (D major) and putting his clothes on
She says, those ro (C major) mantic young boys
(those romantic young boys)
All they ever (G major) want to do (E minor) is fight (D major) (G major)
Those ro (C major) mantic young boys
(those romantic young boys)
They're callin' through the window
Hey, Spanish Johnny,
you want to make (G major) a little easy money (D major) to night?
Verse 6
And Johnny whispered, (G major) goodnight,
it's (C major) all tight, (D major) Jane
I'll (G major) meet you tomorrow
(C major) night on lover's (D major) lane
We may (G major) find it out on the street (C major) tonight,
now, (D major) baby
Or we (G major) may walk until (C major) the daylight,
(D major) maybe
Oh, (G major) goodnight, it's (C major) alright, Jane (D major)
I'm gonna meet (G major) you tomorrow
(C major) night on lover's (D major) lane

Or (G major) we may walk until (C major) the daylight, maybe
(D major)
