Johnny On The Spot Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][C][A][D][C][Em]
[G]Johnny on the spot,
[A]Johnny on the [D]spot
Stop [C]on a dime, [G]all the [Em]time,
Johnny on [D]the [G]spot
Now around the house when
I was a boy
I used [C]to help out a lot
Mom and Dad [G]both [E]called me their
Johnny [A]on the [D]spot
Now the [G]other kids were jealous,
no spank[C]ings I've never got
And anytime [G]I was n[E]eeded,
I was [A]Johnny [D]on the [G]spot.
When it came to sports,
I was really a horse.
I could [C]run and kick and pass.
I [G]could hit a basket from [E]20 feet.
With a [A]track team, I was [D]fast.
Who [G]do you think in the championship
came [C]up with a home run shot?
With two men out
and the bot[E]tom of the ninth,
I'm [A]Johnny [D]on the [G]spot.
Johnny on the [C]spot.
Johnny [A]on the [D]spot.
All [C]alone in the old men's [Em]home.
Johnny [D]on the [G]spot.
Then in my early manhood
I joined [C]the U .S. Marines
I volunteered [G]for over[E]seas
and they sent [A]me to the Philippines
[D]Then [G]I was captured by the enemy
[C]when the fighting was a -getting hot
They said, you're gonna
[G]get that [E]firing squad,
man, [A]I was [D]Johnny on [G]the spot
Now the war was over
in the nick of time
when I [C]saw our boys run
On my [G]back to the wall
I [E]had a close call,
I was [A]glad to get out there [D]alive
Then [G]they handed out the medals,
there was [C]two or three I got
I was [G]in the parade when the
[E]truce was made,
old Johnny on [D]the [G]spot
Johnny on the [C]spot,
Johnny [A]on the [D]spot
Hangin' [C]there tough when
the go[G]ing was rough,
old [A]Johnny [D]on the [G]spot[C][A][D][Eb]
[Ab][C#][Bb][Eb][C#][Fm][Ab]
Then the counter got to be around,
laid [C#]around all day
Hung out [Ab]down at the [F]pool hall
and drew [Bb]my unemployment pay
[Eb]With [Ab]nothing to lose,
I took to the booze
and [C#]honky -tonked a lot
And guess [Ab]who married the
[Fm]queen of club[F]s,
old Johnny [Eb]on the [Ab]spot?
We didn't hit it off too well,
she was [C#]meaner than a bucket of snakes
She [Ab]got herself a lawyer,
[F]said, you're gonna pay
[Bb]for your mistakes
[Eb]Here [Ab]I am in an old jailhouse,
[C#]sleepin' it out on the cot
The banks don't [Ab]lend that ali[F]mony money
to [Bb]Johnny on [Eb]the s[Ab]pot
Johnny on the spot, [C#]Johnny [Bb]on the spot
[Eb]From mat[C#]rimony to [Ab]ali mony,
[Bb]Johnny on [Eb]the [Ab]spot
[C#][Bb][Eb][C#][F][Eb][Ab]
