[Intro]

[Verse]
A
Johnny Magic had a way with metal
Had a way with machines
                        D               A
One day in a garage far away he met destiny
       E                     A
In the form of a heavy metal Continental
        E                A            D
She was born to run on a proud highway
A
Then the whole world started running out of money
                                             D       A
People losing their jobs right here in Wichita, Wichita
    E                       A
The home of the heavy metal Continental
          E                      A                 D
Where the motor-head messiah was tuning the system in
[Chorus]
A
Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic
    B
She burst from the garage in a blaze of silence
Disappearing down Douglas at lightning speed
                                        E            B
Before the big metal door came crashing down in Wichita
    F#                      B
The home of the heavy metal Continental
          F#                     B                 E
Where the motor-head messiah was tuning the system in
A
Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic
[Solo]

[Chorus]

Wichita
    E                       A
The home of the heavy metal Continental
        E                A            D
She was born to run on a proud highway
[Verse]
        A
Now she goes long range on domestic green fuel
100 miles per gallon is the Continental rule
                                      D             A
Out on the Kansas two-lane flats near Wichita, Wichita
[Chorus]
    E                       A
The home of the heavy metal Continental
        E                A            D
She was born to run on a proud highway
A
Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic
[Bridge]
    B
The motor-head messiah went to Washington
To show them what he'd done
                                  E              B
The senators and congressmen came down in Washington
[Chorus]
         F#                      B
And they rode in the heavy metal Continental
        F#               B          E
She was born to run on a proud highway
[Outro] 5X
A
Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic, Johnny Magic  Wichita
The motor-head messiah was tuning the system in
