Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (A major) (D major) (C major) (E minor)
(G major) Johnny on the spot,
(A major) Johnny on the (D major) spot
Stop (C major) on a dime, (G major) all the (E minor) time,
Johnny on (D major) the (G major) spot
Now around the house when
I was a boy
I used (C major) to help out a lot
Mom and Dad (G major) both (E major) called me their
Johnny (A major) on the (D major) spot
Now the (G major) other kids were jealous,
no spank (C major) ings I've never got
And anytime (G major) I was (E major) needed,
I was (A major) Johnny (D major) on the (G major) spot.
When it came to sports,
I was really a horse.
I could (C major) run and kick and pass.
I (G major) could hit a basket from (E major) 20 feet.
With a (A major) track team, I was (D major) fast.
Who (G major) do you think in the championship
came (C major) up with a home run shot?
With two men out
and the bot (E major) tom of the ninth,
I'm (A major) Johnny (D major) on the (G major) spot.
Johnny on the (C major) spot.
Johnny (A major) on the (D major) spot.
All (C major) alone in the old men's (E minor) home.
Johnny (D major) on the (G major) spot.
Then in my early manhood
I joined (C major) the U .S. Marines
I volunteered (G major) for over (E major) seas
and they sent (A major) me to the Philippines
(D major) Then (G major) I was captured by the enemy
(C major) when the fighting was a -getting hot
They said, you're gonna
(G major) get that (E major) firing squad,
man, (A major) I was (D major) Johnny on (G major) the spot
Now the war was over
in the nick of time
when I (C major) saw our boys run
On my (G major) back to the wall
I (E major) had a close call,
I was (A major) glad to get out there (D major) alive
Then (G major) they handed out the medals,
there was (C major) two or three I got
I was (G major) in the parade when the
(E major) truce was made,
old Johnny on (D major) the (G major) spot
Johnny on the (C major) spot,
Johnny (A major) on the (D major) spot
Hangin' (C major) there tough when
the go (G major) ing was rough,
old (A major) Johnny (D major) on the (G major) spot (C major) (A major) (D major) (E flat major)
(A flat major) (C sharp major) (B flat major) (E flat major) (C sharp major) (F minor) (A flat major)
Then the counter got to be around,
laid (C sharp major) around all day
Hung out (A flat major) down at the (F major) pool hall
and drew (B flat major) my unemployment pay
(E flat major) With (A flat major) noth ing to lose,
I took to the booze
and (C sharp major) honky -tonked a lot
And guess (A flat major) who married the
(F minor) queen of club (F major) s,
old Johnny (E flat major) on the (A flat major) spot?
We didn't hit it off too well,
she was (C sharp major) meaner than a bucket of snakes
She (A flat major) got herself a lawyer,
(F major) said, you're gonna pay
(B flat major) for your mistakes
(E flat major) Here (A flat major) I am in an old jailhouse,
(C sharp major) sleepin' it out on the cot
The banks don't (A flat major) lend that ali (F major) mony money
to (B flat major) Johnny on (E flat major) the (A flat major) spot
Johnny on the spot, (C sharp major) Johnny (B flat major) on the spot
From (E flat major) mat (C sharp major) rimony to (A flat major) ali mony,
(B flat major) Johnny on (E flat major) the (A flat major) spot
(C sharp major) (B flat major) (E flat major) (C sharp major) (F major) (E flat major) (A flat major)
Johnny On The Spot
