Baritone Ukulele Cover of The Ballad of Johnny Butt by Sublime

[Verse 1]
Am                                       F       E
Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
Am                               F                   E
He'd just keep pushin' on, even though he was barely alive
Am                            F             E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Am
Johnny says he wants to go do it
        F               E7
Says he wants to kill a cop
 
[Chorus]
Am                                                             F            E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am                                                             F            E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                                 F                 E
So, Johnny just keep pushin', 'cause the streets are yours
Am                                           F                    E
There'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
Am                                    F             E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
                     Am     F                E7
When you're resisting anyway
 
[Chorus]
Am                                                              F            E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am                                                             F            E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
 
[Verse 3]
Am                              F               E
So, Johnny, he kept on pushin'. The Streets are yours
Am                  F                       E
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
Am                            F             E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Am   F  E7
Resisted anyway
 
[Outro]
Am                                      F            E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am                                       F            E                                         end on A
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
