Prince Johnny Chords & Lyrics by St. Vincent
Prince Johnny
guitar chords lyrics
just a simple way of playing it acoustically. hopefully it works out for everyone!
the notes in brackets are just optional little add ons i like to throw in, not
complicated cos i'm dense but it gives it a nice swingy sound. so just stick to
the A in the verse etc. hopefully it's playable at least. enjoy!
corrections encouraged.

Prince Johnny,
(G)Am (G)Am
You're kind but you're not simple
(G)Am (G)Am
By now I think I know the difference
D C G
You wanna be the son of someone
G Em
Remember the time we went and snorted
G Em
A piece of the Berlin wall that you'd extorted
D C G
And we had such a laugh of it?
D C G
Prostrate on my carpet
Am (G)Am (G)Am
You traced the Andes with your index
(G)Am (G)Am
And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
D C G
All with sons of someones
D C G
All with sons of someones
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
Saw you pray to all
D
To make you a real boy
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
Saw you pray to all
D
To make you a real boy
Am
Prince Johnny,
(G)Am (G)Am
You're kind but do be careful
Am (G)Am (G)Am
By now I know just when to stand clear
D C G
When all your friends and acolytes are
D C G
Holding court in bathroom stalls
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
Where you pray to all
D
To make you a real boy
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
Saw you pray to all
D
To make you a real boy
(4 beat pause)
G Em
But honey, don't mistake my affection
G Em
For another spit-and-penny style redemption
D C G
Cause we're all sons of someones
D C G
We're all sons of someones
D(E) C (D) G
I wanna mean more than they mean to you
D(E) C (D) G
I wanna mean more than I meant to him
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
So I pray to all
D Em
To make me a real girl
Am(G)Am Am(G)Am
So I pray to all
D Em
To make me a real girl
chorus another few times.
