G D C
G D C
G D C G D
Outnumbered a million to one
C G D C
All of the dicks in this dick town
G D C
Can't keep Johnny down
G D C G D
M-e-n piled up in a towering mound
C G D C
None of them once has found a way
G D C
To keep Johnny down
A Em
Spending days by myself
Remembering slights
A B
I'm not a monument to justice
C
Plus which I don't forget a face
G D
And they can't (down, down, down)
C G D
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
C G D
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
C G D C
That will keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)

G D
Some dude
C G D
Hitting golf balls on the moon
C G D
Bathroom in his pants
C G D C
And he thinks he's better than m-e
G D C G D
I'm pointing a finger at my own face
C G
They can't know what's in here
D C G D C
And they can't keep Johnny down
A
Beneath my dignity
Em
To flip off the guy
A B
When he pulls up alongside
C
To say my gas cap is unscrewed
G D
And they can't (down, down, down)
C G D
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
C G D
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
C G D C
That will keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)
G D
And they don't (down, down, down)
C G D
Don't know what I've seen (down, down, down)
C G D
Can't know what's in here (down, down, down)
C G D C
And they can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
