Get away, get away

Poor John

[Verse]
     G           D
John Hardy was a fightin' man
G                     D
Carried a razor every day
   G               D
He killed a man in Mobile town
    C                           D
You ought to see my Johnny get away
    C                           Bm
You ought to see my Johnny get away

[Chorus]
     Am
Get away
     Bm        C
Get away, get away
     D
Poor John

[Verse]
     G                  D
John Hardy was standin' at the bar
G                     D
So drunk he could not see
 G                      D
Along came a man with a warrant in his hand
        C                                   D
Cried, "Johnny boy, why don't you come with me
C                                   D
Johnny boy, why don't you come with me"

[Verse]
     G           D
John Hardy had a pretty little gal
G                   D
Kept her dressed in blue
   G              D
He saw her in the hangin' crowd
         C                           D
Cryin', "Johnny boy, I'll be true to you
C                           Bm
Johnny boy, I'll be true to you"

[Chorus]
        Am
True to you
        Bm           C
True to you, true to you
     D
Poor John

[Verse]
     G                         D
I've been to the East and I've been to the West
G                      D
Been this whole world 'round
     G                          D
I've been to the North and I've lived in the South
C                       D
This will be my buryin' ground
C                       D
This will be my buryin' ground

[Bridge]
                                C
Well, I've been this wide world over
D                      C
Been this whole world 'round
D                          C
Been to the river and I've been baptized
D       C             D
Take me to my buryin' ground

[Outro]
D
Get away, get away, get away
