[Am]The boy next [Am9]door you've [Am]known for [Am9]years
Has [Am]up and made[Am9] the hea[Am]dlines[Am9]
The [Bb]front page re[Bb9]ad he l[Bb]ost his he[Bb9]ad
There'd be [Am]nothing like th[Am9]is in a lo[Am]ng time[Am9]
No no now child they must be wrong
All his neighbours say
Johnny was a good boy

Just wouldn't act that way

But now they [Ab]put him away and say he just may do it [Bb]again

They [Am]interview[Am9]ed the [Am]folks he kn[Am9]ew

But police suspect foul [Bb]play

You [Ab]never can tell, but well they say he may do it ag[Bb]ain

When they [Am]found out wh[Am9]at he [Am]did[Am9]
