Poor Johnny - Robert Cray Band

[Intro]
 
Bm F#m Em A Em A Em A (2x)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Bm        F#m           Em          A
Have a seat and I'll tell you a tale
     Em         A       Em A
It wasn't that long ago..
        Bm              F#m          Em             A
About a guy who turned out to be a cheater got the heater
         Em   A     Em   A
So the story goes:
 
Bm                    F#m               Em
He tried the playboy-thing on two friends
A                     Em    A    Em A
Thinking that they'd never know.
      Bm         F#m          Em            A
They say he got caught in a trap and it snapped
          Em      A           Em   A
He's not around anymore...
 
[Chorus]
    Poor Johnny,
    D                     F#m
    He came home looking cool one day,
    Bm                        G
    Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
                D                    F#m
    Once from the left... then from the right
                Bm               G       G     G       G
    They took him down, late that night.
 
[Verse 2]
    Bm           F#m           Em              A
Now everyone in town knew he always played around
           Em        A        Em   A
But not a word was said.
              Bm        F#m
All the money and the clothes,
         Em          A                   Em   A  Em A
And the cars that he drove just kept his ego fed.
 
         Bm            F#m             Em          A
To his friends he was king, cause he thought of everything
             Em     A  Em A
Except his number one.
              Bm           F#m        Em            A
She had the kids and the house, while he was always out
              Em       A    Em  A
Leaving his homework undone.
 
[Chorus]
        
[BRIDGE]
A                  F#m
Then one day his luck ran out.
             Bm                     F#m
When number two found a number and called his house.
 A                               F#m
Word on the street is that they talked all night
             A7
They had to teach him a lesson,
            A7
They had to make things right.
