I haven't been able to get this out of my head since Fallout: New Vegas. 
Johnny Guitar
Peggy Lee (Written by Young/Lee 1954)
Em               Am               Em           Em
Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Em                 Am                  Em           Em
Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside
Am             Am         Em             Em
I was always a fool for my Johnny
Am               B             Em           D
For the one they call Johnny Guitar
         C              B
Play it again, Johnny Guitar
Em              Am                  Em             Em
What if you go, what if you stay, I love you
Em                    Am               Em             Em
What if you're cruel, you can be kind I know
Am                Am          Em              Em
There was never a man like my Johnny
Am                B             Em            Em
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar
[Interlude]
Em       Am      Em      Em
Em       Am      Em      Em
Am                Am          Em              Em
There was never a man like my Johnny
Am                B             Em            Em
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar
Em                   Em
                      (softly to fade)
Play it again, Johnny Guitar...
