Am                                       F       E 
Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
Am                               F                   E 
He'd just keep pushin' on, even though he was barely alive
Am                            F             E  
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Am
Johnny says he wants to go do it
        F               E7  
Says he wants to kill a cop

[Chorus]
Am          C                            F            E  
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am           C                           F            E  
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome

[Verse 2]
Am                             F                 E 
So, Johnny just keep pushin', 'cause the streets are yours
Am                  F                    E            
There'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
Am                            F             E  
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
     F                E7  
When you're resisting anyway

[Chorus]
Am          C                            F            E 
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am          C                            F            E 
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome

[Verse 3]
Am                              F               E  
So, Johnny, he kept on pushin'. The Streets are yours
Am                  F                       E  
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
Am                            F             E 
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
   F  
Resisted anyway

[Outro]
Am          C                            F            E 
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am          C                            F            E 
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
