(G flat major) But Johnny didn't care
(D flat major) He was an outlaw by the (B flat minor) time

(B flat minor) Just a prankster, (A flat major) (B flat minor) juvenile gangster
(G flat major) His teachers didn't under (D flat major) stand
They kicked him out of school
at a (B flat minor) tender early age
Just be (G flat major) cause

(B flat minor) He liked to burn things!
