[Verse 1] C Yeah, when I go over yonder G C I will see my mother C My sister and my father G C But my brother is going to hell [Verse 2] C Yeah, they hung him from the gallows G C As the sun turned red from yellow C And the crowd they heard him halting G C And they sighed with much relief [Verse 3] C The preacher asked him for any last words G C My brother spit on to his clean shirt C And he smiled without redemption G C And said this is one soul God don't need [Verse 4] C Oh, yes, I loved him but I won't miss him G C As he's burning and he's twisting C For his heartless dedication G C To the devil and it's creed [Verse 5] C Oh, as a child we called him rotten G C 'Til he was lonely and forgotten C And he revenged our constant jeering G C Oh, with his every word and deed [Verse 6] C Oh, yeah and for my contribution G C Oh, and the souls lack of retribution C I would ask the Lords forgiveness G C On my very bended knee [Verse 7] C Oh, it's the tale of Johnny Rotten G C Yeah, who was lonely and forgotten C And it's the tale of my only brother G C And it's the tale of one bad seed
