I was born in the middle of nowhere

Found me in a sack

I never knew no love or affection
D
So I never let it held me back

A
Now the time has moved along

And I'm wiser as I'm older

Well balanced? That I am
C
I've got a chip on each of my shoulders

I'm on a mission to spread the word
E5 F#5 G5 G#5 A
Of the meaning of the blues

So watch out now, here's Johnny!
