[Intro]
     G  CAh-Dah
     G  CAh-Dah
[Verse]
GRiding in the back seat
CRolling through the Dneighborhood
GBrought up in the back streets
CWouldn't change if he Dcould
GIt's better than the factory
COr the shopping mall where you Dwork
GJohnny doesn't actually
Have to Cload the gun to Dmake it work
[Chorus]
    CAnd all the Dboys round Johnny
They wGanna be Emdealers and tBmhugs
    CBut Johnny kDnows that it ain't no Ggood
    CWhen the Dteacher asked him,
G"Who would you Embe if you cBmould?"
    C"I wanna Dbe like Robin GHood,
Robin GHood"
[Verse]
GHe ran in from the alley
To the CHalifax where she Dworked
GGotta love Sally
She Cdidn't flinch when he Dburst
GIn through the doorway
With a Csawn-off under his Dshirt
She Gknew in the worst way
That Che was the man for Dher
[Chorus]
    CAnd all the Dboys round Johnny
They wGanna be Emrappers and tBmhugs
    CBut Johnny kDnows that it ain't no Ggood
    CWhen the Dteacher asked him,
G"Who would you Embe if you cBmould?"
    C"I wanna Dbe like Robin GHood,
[Bridge 1]
And I'll steal from the Arich
I'll give to the Bmpoor
I'll stop poClice from
Knocking down the Emdoor
I steal it Aall
Then I'll steal Bmmore
And I'll never Cend up
Behind the Jail Guitar GDoors
[Solo]
C  D  G  Em
  C    D          Gx2
[Verse]
      GAnd to this Cday
As an Dactual factG  
In the best wayC  
They've still Dgot each other's backsG  
15 CYears
2 Dheart attacks
   G2 children
GSally's mother always asks her,C  
"What Dis it about Johnny,G  
What is it about Johnny that Cmakes you Dbother?"
She says,G  
"There's a few things that are Ctrue
In this life of Dwonder,
GEverybody hates the law,
And Ceveryone Dloves a bank
Grobber, robber, robber
robber, robber, Crobber!"
DLoves a bank Grobber, robber, robber, robber, Crobber!" [x7]
[Outro]
    CAnd all the Dboys round Johnny
They wGanna be Emrappers and tBmhugs
    CBut Johnny kDnows that it ain't no Ggood

Ah-ah

[Verse]

Riding in the back seat

Rolling through the neighborhood

Brought up in the back streets

It's better than the factory

Or the shopping mall where you work

Johnny doesn't actually

C D

Have to load the gun to make it work

[Chorus]

C D

And all the boys round Johnny

G Em Bm

They wanna be dealers and thugs

But Johnny knows that it ain't no good

C D

When the teacher asked him,

G Em Bm

"Who would you be if you could?"

C D G

"I wanna be like Robin Hood,

Robin Hood"

[Verse]

He ran in from the alley

C D

To the Halifax where she worked

Gotta love Sally

C D

She didn't flinch when he burst

In through the doorway

C D

With a sawn-off under his shirt

She knew in the worst way

C D

That he was the man for her

[Chorus]

C D

And all the boys round Johnny

G Em Bm

They wanna be rappers and thugs

C D G

But Johnny knows that it ain't no good

C D

When the teacher asked him,

G Em Bm

"Who would you be if you could?"

C D G

"I wanna be like Robin Hood,

[Bridge 1]

And I'll steal from the rich

I'll give to the poor

I'll stop police from

Knocking down the door

I steal it all

Then I'll steal more

And I'll never end up

Behind the Jail Guitar Doors
