    Setting Johnny Free

  • Artist:

    The Jackson Code

Hard to believe there are no Jackson Code tabs on the internet, or even lyrics. So 
this is a rudimentary version of a great song. Not sure about the key - this one 
suits me. If anyone has a better version or any other Jackson Code songs, please post them. Pete

Setting Johnny Free - The Jackson Code
                                                                         
                        D          A
Well he locked himself away way up there
              D                            A
She opens the grill door, and the elevator grinds
               D       A
Its way to the seventh floor
         D               A                          D       A
Burgundy carpet hide the stains and the lighting's a little dim
               D                           A                         
Phoney antique chairs, and Johnny's lying there on the bed
     D                G      D                                   
He's looking a little thin
                                                                         
                          A                 D
She said I'm setting you free, setting you free
             A               D                                
You're such a sweet thing to me,
            A                 D                A          D       
Setting you free, setting you free until you're shiny and new
            A                 D                   A              D   
Setting you free, setting you free, you're such a sweet thing to me
            A                 D                 A         D    
Setting you free, setting you free until you're shiny and new
          A   D          A   D
Shiny and new, shiny and new
            D             A                 D             A    
She rid the fear from his eyes and raised a kiss from his lips
                     D         A           D           G   D    
She's the comet that blazed so bright that lighted his night
                                                           
         D                     G              
Is there something you want to tell me?
D                        G        D                                         
Is there something that I need to know?
            A                                            D      A          
It's like a pet in a cage now you're going to unleash it in the wild
                D                       A             D                A     
Oh, it's like a pet that you raised yourself that you groomed and hand-fed
             D                        A                                    
But when you set it in the wild,  you set it in the wild,
            D                G   D                                        
There's forgiving by its own kind

                          A                 D
She said I'm setting you free, setting you free
             A               D                                
You're such a sweet thing to me,
            A                 D                A          D       
Setting you free, setting you free until you're shiny and new
            A                 D                   A              D   
Setting you free, setting you free, you're such a sweet thing to me
            A                 D                 A         D    
Setting you free, setting you free until you're shiny and new
          A   D          A   D
Shiny and new, shiny and new
            D             A                 D             A    
She rid the fear from his eyes and raised a kiss from his lips
                     D         A           D           G   D    
She's the comet that blazed so bright that lighted his night
