Shawn Mullins – Ballad Of Kathryn Johnston chords

This is the my first attempt at this go easy.  I watched him play it on youtube 
I'm pretty sure its accurate

Great Song... Enjoy





Am		G	    D       Dsus	    F			Old Miss Johnston lived all alone
                                     AmOn the sorry side of town

AmBroke down cars and burglar bars

          G                            D         Dsus        FOn the windows and doors

                                           AmIn case danger comes around


AmSittin' in her yellow kitchen

G                           D       F             AmListenin' to bad news on a AM radio

AmIt used to be Louis Armstrong
G                                    D      Dsus    F
Then Martin Luther King

                                       Am                                  Where did everybody go?


G                                             AmOut the window where her garden was

G                              F                  Am    It's not safe to go outside

                                GOld Miss Johnston in the eye of the storm

F                                       AmIt was the safest place to hide


Am                                 G                                       D            FYeah life's a gamble for the broken and the weak

                                                             AmDealin' with the bangers and the drugs

AmThe whinos weave and amble

G                                               D        Dsus             FAnd shuffle on down the street

                                           AmSteerin' clear of all the thugs


G                                       AmAnd now my city hangs her head in shame

G                                                      F              AmYou can't tell the truth from all the lies

                                                GEverything changed forever and everything stayed the same

F                                                AmOn the night Miss Johnston died
