Be Good Johnny chords by Men At Work
Guitar chords with lyrics
During the chorus and verses, keyboards and guitar are rolling back and forth with D, C, Bm, C, D, etc. In the pre-chorus, guitar goes back and forth on F and G. Then for the Be good be good's, the D, C, Bm, C pattern continues. It was hard to indicate in the notation, but the final C of the "be good" stanzas occurs precisely when the background singers say "Jooohnny." Verse: D C Skip de skip, up the road Bm C Off to school we go D C "Don't you be a bad boy Johnny Bm C Don't you slip up or play the fool" D C "Oh no Ma, Oh no Da, Bm C I'll be your golden boy D C Bm C I will obey ev'ry golden rule"
Pre-Chorus: F G Get told by the teacher F G Not to day-dream F G Told by my mother: Chorus: D Be good Be good C Be good be good be good Bm Be good be good be good be good (Johnny) C Be good be good D Be good be good C Be good be good be good Bm be good be good be good be good (Johnny) C Be good be good. Verse: D C "Are you going to play football this year, John?" Bm C "No!" D C Bm "Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then, are you Johnny?" C "No! no! no!" D C Bm "Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me, C What kind of a boy are you, John?" Pre-Chorus: F G I only like dreaming F G All the day long F G Where no one is screaming Chorus Repeat Pre-Chorus, followed by a verse of nothing but D
