Prince Johnny — St. Vincent
Chords and lyrics for Prince Johnny by St. Vincent (key of Em).
Verse 1
just a simple way of playing it acoustically. hopefully it works out for
everyone!
the notes in brackets are just optional little add ons i like to throw in,
not
complicated cos i'm dense but it gives it a nice swingy sound. so just
stick to
the A in the verse etc. hopefully it's playable at least. enjoy!
corrections encouraged.
Prince [Am]Johnny,
(G)Am (G)Am
You're kind but you're not simple
(G)Am (G)Am
By now I think I know the difference
You wanna [D]be the [C]son of [G]someone
[G]Remember the time we went and [Em]snorted
A [G]piece of the Berlin wall that you'd [Em]extorted
And [D]we had [C]such a [G]laugh of it?
[D]Prostrate [C]on my [G]carpet
Am (G)Am (G)Am
You traced the Andes with your index
(G)Am (G)Am
And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
[D]All with [C]sons of [G]someones
[D]All with [C]sons of [G]someones
Saw you pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To make you a real [D]boy
Saw you pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To make you a real [D]boy
Prince [Am]Johnny,
(G)Am (G)Am
You're kind but do be careful
Am (G)Am (G)Am
By now I know just when to stand clear
When [D]all your [C]friends and [G]acolytes are
[D]Holding [C]court in [G]bathroom stalls
Where you pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To make you a real [D]boy
Saw you pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To make you a real [D]boy
(4 beat pause)
But [G]honey, don't mistake my [Em]affection
For [G]another spit-and-penny style [Em]redemption
Cause [D]we're all [C]sons of [G]someones
[D]We're all [C]sons of [G]someones
I wanna [D(E)]mean [C]more than they [G]mean to you
I wanna [D(E)]mean [C]more than I [G]meant to him
So I pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To [D]make me a real girl[Em]
So I pray to [Am(G)Am]all[Am(G)Am]
To [D]make me a real girl[Em]
chorus another few times.
