G
Oh, Little Johhny Walker caught a bullet last night
Runnin' from the guitar store
He took a left down the alley, guess he should've gone right
Now he ain't taken nothing no more, more, more
C7
Everybody knows it's a hard time
Livin' with hate and the greed
G
Most folks earn what they get for a livin'
Others just steal what they need
D7
Down on the corner, already talkin'
How they're gonna cut their teeth
G
I'm out here just workin' for a dollar
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler
8 bar solo in G
G
Oh, eighteen years, eighteen years
That's a long-old time to be
Sittin' face down, stoned in the alley
Wonderin' how to get to that shinin' sea
C7
Everybody knows it's a hard time
Livin' on minimum wage
G
Ah, some people just gonna sneak on through
Others gotta rattle that cage
D7
One of these days, I'm gonna find my way
Or else just disappear
G
I'm out here in the filth and squalor
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler
SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS
G
Oh, rock and roll, ache and moan
Listen to the young girls scream
Every time I get a little bit lucky
I gotta wake up from a poor man's dream
C7
Heaven only knows how we get there
After all this trouble and strife
G
From all I've seen, you only get one shot
At what you're gonna do in this life
D7
Ah, what the hell, I guess I might as well
Take a chance and try my way
G
I'm like James Brown only white and taller
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler
30 bar solo in G and fade
