  Capo: 3rd fret
  
  Verse 1:
            D                        A
  From his army confessions of his military days
             C                  G                        D
  You still carry the shrapnel you're shell-shocked and dazed
  D/C#  Bm    A                  G6
  Dear Johnny have you lost your way
            C                       Dm  Am     Bb
  Or like denim and leather are you faded and frayed
  
  Institute lackies with hot bourbon breath
  White coats and needles Johnny like to scare you to death
  Dear Johnny do you feel your best
  When you're strung out at night on your morphine and meth
  
  F                                       E
  Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie
  Eb        Bb       G             E
  Tool of a dagger's drawn world
  F                                    E
  Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
                         A E  B
  For bringing home that V.C. girl
  Eb               G              Gb
  Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
  
  From the tone deaf hearing of the draft board game
  You were washing cars down in Dallas when the holocaust came
  Dear Johnny your excuse was lame                   Bb
  All your friends sleep in boxes while you sleep in chains
  
  
  Solo

  For bringing home that V.C. girl
  Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
  
  Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie

  Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
  
  Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey
  Tool of a dagger's drawn world
  Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you
  For bringing home that V.C. girl
