Johnny — Sarah Jarosz
Chords and lyrics for Johnny by Sarah Jarosz (key of C).
Verse 1
[E]Johnny’s on the back porch [Bm]drinking red [A]wine
He [E]knows that it could be the [Bm][A]very last time
He [D]raises the glass up [A]to his [G]lips [E][D]and wonders[A]
[E]How could a boy from a [Bm]little bay [A]town
Grow [E]up to be a man, fly the [Bm]whole [A]world round
[D]Then end back up on the [A]same damn [G]ground he [E][F]started[E][C]
Chorus
You might not [F]get what you [C]pay [E]for
You know that [F]nothing’s[C] for [E]sure
And an open [F]heart [C]looks a [Dm]lot [C]like the [Bb][F][E][Bm7]wilderness[A][Bm7][E][A]
Verse 2
[E]Lately he’s been thinking ‘bout the [Bm]meaning of [A]time
The [E]small amount we’re given must be [Bm]some sort of [A]crime
Yet the [D]little we have feels [A]like too [G]much most of the [E][F]time[C]
He [E]takes another sip of that [Bm]blood red [A]wine
Just [E]waiting on the stars that will [Bm]never [A]align
A little [D]luck, a little love, a little [A]light and you’ll be [G]doing just [E]fine
[F] [C] [E]
Chorus
But you might not [F]get what you [C]pay [E]for
You know that [F]nothing’s [C]for [E]sure
And an open [F]heart [C]looks a [Dm]lot [C]like the [Bb][F][E][Bm]wilderness[G#7][A]
Bridge
So open [F#m]up your heart[E]
Take it [G#]out, and put it back [A][E]in[G#]
Signs are[A] all [E]around you
[F#]Let it [A][F#]begin[E][A]
Chorus
You might not [F]get what you [C]pay [E]for
You know that [F]nothing’s for[C] [E]sure
And an open [F]heart [C]looks a [Dm]lot [C]like the [Bb][F][E][Bm]wilderness[E][A]
You might not [F]get what you [C]pay [E]for
You know that [F]nothing’s for[C] [E]sure
And an open [F]heart [C]looks a [Dm]lot [C]like the [Bb][F][E]wilderness
[Bm] [A] [E]
[Bm] [A] [E]
