Verse 1
F# F# 
 
I   made up my mind a long time ago
B B 
 
I'd rather be dead than live like
Johnny
F# F# 
 
O
B B 
 
Than live like
Johnny
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
O
F# F# 
 
Now
Johnny
O is a fellow that lives in the woods
I tried to talk to him but it
B B 
 
didn't do no good
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
But it didn't do no good
F# F# 
 
Now let me tell you what led
Johnny astray.
B B 
 
He once loved a girl by the name of
Sally
F# F# 
 
May.
B B 
 
By the name of
Sally
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
May.
Sally
May was beautiful but
Johnny was shy.
B B 
 
So she took to a fellow by the name of
Billy
F# F# 
 
Bly.
B B 
 
By the name of
Billy
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
Bly.
F# F# 
 
Now
Johnny couldn't stand it,
but he took all he could
When
Sally met
Billy,
B B 
 
Johnny headed for the woods
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
Johnny headed for the woods
F# F# 
 
If  you're ever out hunting,
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
please shoot with care
Cause you may take
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Johnny for a  grizzly bear
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
For a grizzly bear
Oh
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Johnny!
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Johnny
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Boy!
Johnny
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Boy!
Now you better be careful about
the love that you choose
This time it was
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Johnny, next time it could be you
Johnny
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Boy!
Johnny
B B 
 
Boy!
F# F# 
 
John,
B B 
 
John,
John,
John,
John
