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