[verse 1]
Am
Johnny went down to the railroad track
Am
Said goodbye and he never came back
 E
There's no body that was ever found
E
Just legends heard of him from miles and miles around

[verse 2]
Am
Some say he was taken by a rapture
Am
And some say they've seen a man of his stature
E
Comin' in and comin' out of the woods
E
With a long beard and a long hood

[verse 3]
Am
Oh what Johnny left behind
Am
Record collection, half bottle o' wine
E
Volume turned up and the radio on
E                                      Am
The record spinning it was playing his song


Am
Singing "Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Am
Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood
E
Some say he left us too soon
E                                           Am
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon

[verse 4]
Am
One fine day I went out for a walk
Am
Behind the church, the neighborhood block
E
Behind the school and the railroad yard
E
Just when I thought that I went too far

[verse 5]
Am
I went farther to the overlook
Am
The one in the pictures that Johnny took
E
He kept one tucked inside of his favorite book
E
Kept one taped to the dashboard of his truck

[verse 6]
Am
Just when I thought it was getting late
Am
Full moon rose the clock struck eight
E
Took one last look then tuned around
E
And as I did I heard the strangest sound

[verse 7]
Am
So I stopped, looked back saw a peculiar sight
Am
A silhouette inside the pale moonlight
E
An' something struck me strange, somehow I knew
E
The silhouette was Johnny
E
An' Johnny's howlin' at the-

Am
"Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Am
Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood
E
Some say he left us too soon
E
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the-


Am
"Johnny, Johnny be good!"
Am
Johnny walked right out of the neighborhood
E
Some say he left us too soon
E
Some say they hear him, he's howlin' at the moon
