Johnny Rottentale Chords

[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
