VERSE
E A E
Well I was driving down the road just a minding my own when Johnny Law
B7 E
pulled up from behind
E A E F#
He walked up to my window and said, roll it down and let me see what I can
B
find
E A E B7
I said, no way, what's mine is mine and I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me
E
be
E A E
He said, I'll leave you be alright, in a cell all night, I'll lock you up
B7 E
and throw away the key
A
He slapped them cuffs on my wrist
E
And my hands clenched into fists
B7
And I wished I could have punched him in the jaw
E
And knock out old Johnny Law
CHORUS
(right here he does a walk up to A that goes like so)

Ohh Johnny Law
E
Johnny Law
B7
He's the littlest man I ever saw
E A E
With his badge and his gun, he'll just hassle everyone
B7 E
He'll get you on the run Johnny Law
INTRO
VERSE
E
He took me down to the state house
A E
And he hurled that book at me
A E F# B
And bein' in a cell is like being in hell for a man who longs to be free
E A E
I sat there and I wondered, just what gave this man the right
E A E B7
To leave me to rot here on this rickety cot, just a staring at the ceiling
E
all night
A E
And I couldn't help but think of the words of my dear departed Pa
A E
He said, do the best you can, be a good man, but don't you never trust
B7 E
Johnny Law
CHORUS: (THE SAME WALK UP TO A
A
Ohh Johnny Law
E
Johnny Law
B7
He's the littlest man I ever saw
E A E
With his badge and his gun, he'll just hassle everyone
B7 E
He'll get you on the run Johnny Law
VERSE
E A E B7
Without any proof they couldn't keep me there so they let me out in the
E
morning
E A E F#
And that cop said, son, I don't know what you done, but just consider this a
B
little warning
E A E
I said, it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serve but I wonder
B7 E
what it would be like
E B7 E
If you didn't have that badge or that gun or that uniform to hide behind
A E
And although I feel, that this whole deal, I got, was pretty damn wrong
A E
My conscience is clean, cause I'm a human being,
B7 E
And you're just Johnny Law
CHORUS: (THE SAME WALK UP TO A
A
Ohh Johnny Law
E
Johnny Law
B7
He's the littlest man I ever saw
E A E
With his badge and his gun, he'll just hassle everyone
B7 E
He'll get you on the run Johnny Law
E A E
With his badge and his gun, he'll just hassle everyone
B7 E
You'll never get me on the run Johnny Law
