F Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone People avoid him, they know the street's his home Cold blade of silver, his eyes, they burn so wild Mean as a tiger, society's own child A# F Those that tried to burn him paid A# F You don't do that to Johnny Blade Chorus: A# F He's the meanest guy around his town A# G One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade G Life has no meaning and Death's his only friend Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end?
