I was (Am)thinking to my-(G/B)self this (C)morning, (Am)watching my (G/B)boys play (C)
Of how (Am)different (G/B) my life (C) was when I (F)was their age

(Am)I shudder (G/B) to think (C) about what the (F)next thing is

The (F)devil's broke (G)out of (C)Georgia and he's (Am)feasting on our (G)souls
There's (Am)fire (G/B)on the mountain (C) and the (Am)flames are (G/B)closing in (C)

Can't you (Am)see it in (G/B)our (C)faces? Can't you (F)hear it in our songs?
Yeah, we're (Am)holding (G/B)on to (C)hope, but we're (Am)hanging (G/B)by a (C)thread
Won't you (Am)put on (G/B)your rattle-(C)snake boot and (F)crush that serpent head?

(Chorus)
Yeah, (F)John-(G)ny, oh, (C)Johnny, (Am) where (G/B)did you (C)go?
The (F)devil's broke out of (C)Georgia and he's feasting on our souls (G)

So (F)run, get your (C)fiddle bow and (G)send him to hell again (Am)
Yeah, (G)back to (G)hell again
