* = strum once

[Intro]
G                                C*
Streetlights glare but nothing's clear
G                                     C*
And Robin Hood, he doesn't live round here
G                                         C*
Johnny Law is in the rearview and it's no good
G                               C*         C
He's gonna get us now, and it's understood


[Verse]
C                  G
And I want to know what the answer should be
C                            G
Flashing lights in my mind - true sounds of liberty
C                       G
Who is the promise for? It seems so far away
C                     G                 (Lick 1)
No matter where I go, I just can't get away

[Pre-Chorus]
C          D
And in the burning sun
C               D
There's someone on the run
C              D
We'll wave the black flag
C             D                  (Lick 2)
We'll wave it right there in his face


[Chorus]
D   C  G
Johnny Law
G        (Lick 2)
Is here today
D   C  G
Johnny Law


[Verse]
C
And it echoes here
G
Streets of America
C
He's gonna get you here
G
Streets of America
C
Who is the promise for?
G
It seems so far away
C                            G
Between the bad guys and the badge
G              (Lick 1)
Don't go alone today


[Pre-Chorus]
C          D
And in the D.C. sun
C               D
There's someone on the run
C              D
We'll wave the black flag
C          D            (Lick 2)
Salute the one that got away


[Chorus]
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law
G          (Lick 2)
Let's get away
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law


[Bridge]
(Just switch back and forth C and G here - the changes are really complex)
C G C G   C   G   C   G   C   G
      And he wears a hundred faces
C G C G   C   G   C   G   C   G
      Hiding out in so many places
C    G     C    G    C   G
He'll cut you down to size
C   G   C   G   C   G
Say your rosary tonight

C  G  C  G  C G C  G  C  G  C G

C  G  C  G  C G C  G  C  G  C G
All over Detroit, to south L.A
C  G  C  G  C G C  G  C  G  C G         (Lick 2)
From a Dixie town to a capital parade - away


[Chorus]
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law
G          (Lick 2)
Let's get away
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law
G          (Lick 2)
Let's get away
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law
G          (Lick 2)
Let's get away
     D   C  G
From Johnny Law
