This is the my first attempt at this go easy. I watched him play it on youtube I'm pretty sure its accurate Great Song... Enjoy F Old Miss Johnston lived all alone Am On the sorry side of town Am Broke down cars and burglar bars F On the windows and doors Am In case danger comes around
Am Sittin' in her yellow kitchen Am Listenin' to bad news on a AM radio Am It used to be Louis Armstrong F Then Martin Luther King Am Where did everybody go? Am Out the window where her garden was Am It's not safe to go outside G Old Miss Johnston in the eye of the storm Am It was the safest place to hide F Yeah life's a gamble for the broken and the weak Am Dealin' with the bangers and the drugs Am The whinos weave and amble F And shuffle on down the street Am Steerin' clear of all the thugs Am And now my city hangs her head in shame Am You can't tell the truth from all the lies G Everything changed forever and everything stayed the same Am On the night Miss Johnston died
