 G             A
Johnny is a man
          G              A
And he's bigger than you
        G                A
But his overheads are high
        G
And he looks straight through you
         A
When you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven
'Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right

Chorus:
        G                                 A
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
    G                                 A
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

         G                  A
And the food is on the table
         G          A
But the food is cold

A#           C A# C
Don't hit her

 G                   A
Can't you even cook?
            G                           A
What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?

Well, Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes
Shows through

Chorus

It shows through
It shows through
It shows through
