Mean Mary - Bad Ol' John CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] Am G Am G Am G Am G [Verse 1]

A ^Amman comes along on a breeze and a song A man called bad ‘ol John ^AmSome say he’s a saint, some say that he ain’t

Some say he’s a cyclone’s spawn

^AmFolks they say to this very day Don’t cross that son-of-a-gun ^AmThere never been a man any meaner than

Or as bad as bad ol’ John

^AmBad ol’ John ^G ^Am ^G

[Verse 2]

^AmThere never been a course, never seen a horse Ol’ John could not stick on ^AmThere never been a fight he couldn’t set right

Or a friend he’d go back on

^AmWhen you try to stand and you need a hand There’s one thing to count on ^AmNever been a friend true to the end

Like good ol’, bad ol’ John

^AmBad ol’ John

[Instrumental] Am G Am G Am G Am G (2x) [Verse 3]

^AmThe last time I came upon Bad Ol’ John He was walking on a Florida beach ^AmA guitar in a sack, a banjo on his back

And an alligator on a leash

^AmI was clingin’ to a raft a shark bit in half John yells, “Mary, I won’t fail ya” ^AmRode his alligator out, grabbed that shark by the snout

And drug it all the way to Australia

^AmBad Ol’ John

[Instrumental] Am G Am G Am G Am G (4x) [Verse 4]

^AmYou could cross the seas on a flying trapeze Or rope the morning sun ^AmBut I doubt you’d find any peace of mind

Or a feat ol’ John’s not done

^AmA man comes along on a breeze and a song A man called bad ol’ John ^AmSome say he’s a saint

Oh, some say that he ain’t

^AmOh, he’s just ^F#good ol’, ^Fbad ol’ ^AmJohn

[Outro] Am G Am G Am G Am G (2x)
