F G F                    F G
Outnumbered a million to one
F                   F    G    F
All of the dicks in this dick town
           F   G  F
Can't keep Johnny down
F G F                        F G
M-e-n piled up in a towering mound
F                     F     G F
None of them once has found a way
        F  G   F
To keep Johnny down


D                  Dm
Spending days by myself

Remembering slights
          D           E
I'm not a monument to justice
                   F
Plus which I don't forget a face


         F   G
And they can't (down, down, down)
F                 F  G
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
F                          F G
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
F                         F  G F
That will keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)


Dm D F G F F D G


     F  G
Some dude
        F                 F  G
Hitting golf balls on the moon
F               F   G
Bathroom in his pants
       F                       F G F
And he thinks he's better than m-e
    F G        F                F  G
I'm pointing a finger at my own face
     F                    F
They can't know what's in here
G   F               F   G  F
And they can't keep Johnny down


D
  Beneath my dignity
   Dm
To flip off the guy
        D             E
When he pulls up alongside
          F
To say my gas cap is unscrewed


         F   G
And they can't (down, down, down)
F                 F  G
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
F                          F G
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
F                         F  G F
That will keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)


   F   G
And they don't (down, down, down)
F                    F  G
Don't know what I've seen (down, down, down)
F                    F  G
Can't know what's in here (down, down, down)
F                          F  G F
And they can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
