Capo: 3rd fret

Verse 1:

D A

From his army confessions of his military days

C G D

You still carry the shrapnel you're shell-shocked and dazed

D/C# Bm A G6

Dear Johnny have you lost your way

C Dm Am Bb

Or like denim and leather are you faded and frayed

Institute lackies with hot bourbon breath

White coats and needles Johnny like to scare you to death

Dear Johnny do you feel your best

When you're strung out at night on your morphine and meth

F E

Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie

Eb Bb G E

Tool of a dagger's drawn world

F E

Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you

A E B

For bringing home that V.C. girl

Eb G Gb

Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world

From the tone deaf hearing of the draft board game

You were washing cars down in Dallas when the holocaust came

Dear Johnny your excuse was lame Bb

All your friends sleep in boxes while you sleep in chains

Solo

Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey

Tool of a dagger's drawn world

Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you

For bringing home that V.C. girl

Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world

Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie

Tool of a dagger's drawn world

Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you

For bringing home that V.C. girl

Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world

Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey

Tool of a dagger's drawn world

Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you

For bringing home that V.C. girl

Jackknife Johnny
