[Verse 1]
[Em]John Stewart[D][C][D][Em][D][C][D]
Well, I [Em]hope to tell [D]you, Johnny,
that I lay [C]that rifle [D]down but [Em]leave the noose and the [D]calaboose and headed [C]for another [D]town.[Em]
Well, I've got your name in [D]San Jose
and your [C]picture's [D]there to see.
And they're [Em]shootin' men in [D]Texas
just because [C]they look like [D]me.
[Chorus:] And [G]we will run the

[Verse 2]
[C]
ridges of our
[D]green land Tenness[G]ee
And we will hide for forty years if [C]that's what's meant to [D]be,
meant to [C]be, meant to [D]be.
Meant to be, meant to [C]be,
meant to [D]be.[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Maybe we could try [D]Mexico and
[C]cross the desert [D]sand,
But they're [Em]guardin' 'cross the [D]border 'case we [C]swim the Rio [D]Grande
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus:] [Em]Well,
they'll rope and tie you, [D]Johnny,
and they'll [C]throw you [D]to the ground
And they'll [Em]let you hang a [D]week or two 'fore
they [C]cut your body down.
