            JOHNNY TWOBAGS - the Vandals
-----------------------------------------------------------

INTRO: * denotes an accent
       pm = Palm mute

pm.D
Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues and it makes him sad
           pm.A
brings him down
   pm.G                         pm.A
but not down enough to have the blues
                *D pm.
cause he's too white to have the blues
                         *A pm.
he thinks you should be black to have the blues
          *G
he's too green to sing the blues
                                                  A
and Orange County ain't the breeding ground for blues

VERSE 1: in the interest of saving time, I'm just going to
         write the words. The same progression holds for
         the verses. Accent the "D" and first "A" chord on
         the downbeat. Then play the "G" normally. If you
         know the song you'll know what I mean.

Ah Johnny do shut up I know you think you got it rough
you say your life is hard
well you didn't spend your days stealing chickens from the
  rich folks yard
Don't play me for a fool
your dad wasn't traded for a mule
do you know what I mean?
even if your band gets dropped from doctor dream...

CHORUS:

G
you ain't black and you ain't blind

your girlfriend's not the cheating kind
                A
so now you're cleaned up and you're off the booze
                                      D
maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues

VERSE 2: same chords, same style

kid is stuck in a wheelchair his spine is bent beyond
  repair
He's not singin the blues
and you never even wore orthopedic shoes
so at school you might have failed
but there's men being ripped in jail
that should be singing the blues
and I'm starting to think that you haven't payed your dues

CHORUS

BRIDGE:  D  G  D  A  - repeat that a couple of times

D           G
its ok so don't be sad but you're not sad cause you're
             A
still rad to me


INTRO: repeat, but stop palm muting after "but not down
       enought to have the blues"

CHORUS

OUTRO: D  G  D  A

D          G
its ok so don't be sad but you're not sad cause you're
             A
still rad to me
               D                 G
don't have to pay no dues or be born to lose

a lot of people would kill to be in your shoes
 A                                   D
maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues

END

just yer basic 3 chord punk song. there are a lot of directions in there
that may be confusing, but once you listen to the song you should know
exactly what I'm talking about. As always: if you have requests, comments
