Johns Song

D G Em D I once met this old wise man G He invited me into his caravan D We sat down for a cup of tea G He sat down very gingerly D He said he's still got a sore back G D From the time, on the roof with Jack G D We were on the roof one day, G when suddenly I heard Jack say Em G "Look out for that crack!” Em G D Phewhack! I was lying on my back D When I was just your age, G I was already working D For a shilling a day G It was just enough for mom to say Em G D Ohhhh Johnny you make me so proud! D D Pa would come home from work, and say G D G "John, one day, you'll work with me down at the factory." Em G D But I don't wanna work in no factory Em G D So I packed my bags and I headed for the tree. D D G I was only away from home for about an hour D G But i was home in time for tea D G D G I said very politely that I didn't want to work in no factory. Em G Pa said John you're a second-class citizen, D G and you're never gonna get very far Em G I said Pa, I'm gonna see the world, I'm gonna see it all Em G D I'm gonna be all that I can be, and more. D D G D G Daddy finished his cup of tea, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a key D He said you can have my old caravan, G Em G I won't be needing it any more Em G D Because I've see all I wanna see, and more.
