Well, lucky number seven passed me by
                                             D
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
         G
Well he came back don't you know
           C
With his brother six in tow
                 G               D              G
And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side

[Chorus]
             G
And that is how I got these lonesome johnny blues
 C                                G
How I got these lonesome johnny blues
         C
Got the lonesome johnny blues
             G            Em
And there's nothing I can do
                  G             D                G
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive

Grim reaper pulled his little old chevrolet right up onto the goddamn drive
         G
"johnny, I haven't come for you
       C
But I want someone who's dear to you
          G               D          G
And the price you pay is to remain alive"

[Chorus]

And I'll stay here with these lonesome johnny blues

Woah, no more trouble send him down the road, won't you please

No more trouble won't you beat him up, won't you send him down the road
  G
Trouble dumped out the trash
    C
Ransacked the place for cash
         G              D               G
And he wound up taking much more than I own

[Chorus]
        G
And he left me with these lonesome johnny blues
 C                                   G
Left me with these lonesome johnny blues
          C
With the lonesome johnny blues
             G            Em
And there's nothing I can do
