Ballad Of Kathryn Johnston - Ver 2

Am G D Dsus F Old Miss Johnston lived all alone Am On the sorry side of town Am Broke down cars and burglar bars G D Dsus F On the windows and doors Am In case danger comes around Am Sittin' in her yellow kitchen G D F Am Listenin' to bad news on a AM radio Am It used to be Louis Armstrong G D Dsus F Then Martin Luther King Am Where did everybody go? G Am Out the window where her garden was G F Am It's not safe to go outside G Old Miss Johnston in the eye of the storm F Am It was the safest place to hide Am G D 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 G D Dsus F And shuffle on down the street Am Steerin' clear of all the thugs G Am And now my city hangs her head in shame G F Am You can't tell the truth from all the lies G Everything changed forever and everything stayed the same F Am On the night Miss Johnston died
