Freedom Johnnys Song

Tom : F
F Bb
Johnny's got a family of five, and he works for the state
F Dm
He got debts that are piling high, and an old Chevrolet
C
Willie on the dash playin' tunes
F Bb
Smells like grass 'cause he's covered in June
C
Picking up extra cash, mowing lawns with his kids

[Verse 2]
F Bb
Stained sneakers walk through the church as they kneel down to pray
F Dm
Sayin', "Please Lord, have pity on us, take our troubles away
C
These seeds that we're plantin' with you
F Bb
We hope one day, your Lord will come true"
C
I remember еven right now that look on his face

[Chorus]
F Am
So we'd gеt high and we'd ramble
Bb F
Get drunk and we'd gamble
Bb F
Teenagers cruisin' at 75
Dm C
Singin' "Sweet Home Alabama"

[Próxima Parte]
F Am
Stay out all damn weekend
Bb F
Sundays are for sleeping
Bb F
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Dm C
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Bb
Yeah, freedom

[Próxima Parte]
  C                     F
- C Bb - C F - C Bb - C F

[Verse 3]
F Bb
Mom says she gonna enlist, and the Corps pays for school
F Dm
They'll have more money they could work with if she just had the tools
C
John says, "What you think's best
F Bb
I'll work doubles and make up the rest"
C
Still drown in college debt
I'll never forgive or forget

[Chorus]
F Am
So we'd get high and we'd ramble

[Bridge]
C Bb C Bb
Went to Woodstock
C F
With his draft papers in his back pocket from Vietnam
Bb C Bb
Workin' in the slammer
Did hard time
Went through hell together
C F
They'd die for each other
C
Oh, these lovers in arms

[Chorus]
F Am
Yeah, they'd get high and they'd ramble
Bb F
Get drunk and they'd gamble
Bb F
When they were younger like everyone else
Dm C
Like you couldn't blow out their candle
