  Look what's been done, John
F#             G                    E            A/G/E
  it's coming out of the east like rain, Johnny

  look, what's been done, John
F#             G                  E            A/G/E
  it's coming like a God with no name, Johnny


      A      G              E
        I'm out near Santa Fe
      A           G                  E    A/G/E
        hitching out for the warmer days


  I'm all broke up, Johnny
F#    G                E   A/G/E
  it all just beat me down ..... beat me down



instrumental:   3x  E  E7  E6  E
                3x  F#  G  A  E



  Look down the line, Johnny
  there's flashlights on the backroads, Johnny
  look down the line, Johnny
  of the American unknown, Johnny


        I'm out there in the desert
        all your dreams lie dead in the desert


  I'm all torn up, Johnny
  it all just beat me down..... beat me down



instrumental:   3x  E  E7  E6  E
                3x  F#  G  A  E



  Look at the girl, Johnny
  yellow hair a shine, indian eyes to see, Johnny
  look at her, Johnny
  her love is like anything to me, Johnny


        What slipped so deep into me
        I can never get it out of me


  I'm all broke up, Johnny
  it all just tore me down
