G                         Em
Sister devastation was a good friend of his
    Am                         C
She held him very long and very right
     G                              Em
She whispered him to sleep with the blues in the night
    Am                                        C
And she slept until the dawn dragged him into light

G                    Em
He used to dream he lived
       Em
by the ocean so blue
    Am                                  C
and his bride was a princess form the north,
He used to see the future in a potion that he drank
     Am                                C
but the more he saw the more he fell apart

G           Em         Am       C

Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
G                      Em           Am    C
'cause everybody has a piece of him inside

G                   Em
Jesus was a junkyhe was strung out on a cross
Am
and the devil was just a little child
C
strummin' for a loss,
G
They put the two together,
Em                         Am
starring into a film, and they lifted the story from
          C
the good book of doom

G           Em         Am       C
Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
G           Em                  Am  C

'cause everybody has a piece of him inside

  G
He drove himself past oblivion 
        Em
he was shot from both sides
    Am                 C
when they found his boy his soul just cried
G
it said, take me from this heaven
Em
take me from this hell,
     Am                               C
it's a place, i've lived far too long and know too well.
