[Verse 1]
Dm
John was bad
Dm
He gave it everything he had
Dm
John he prayed
Dm
For all the people ever made
Dm
John was cool
Dm
He never did no after school
[Chorus]
F#
Late at night when he praised the Lord
A Dm
He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword
Dm
John, St John be cool
Dm
Tell the people
Dm
They follow you
Dm
John, St John be cool
Dm
Tell the people
Dm
They follow you
F#
But every night when he praised the Lord
A Dm
He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword
Dm
Lay down upon the sword
Dm
Lay down upon the sword
Dm
Lay down upon the sword
Dm
Lay down your bloody sword

Laid down upon the sword

Laid down upon the sword
Dm
Gettin’ down upon the sword
Dm
Laid down upon the sword
Dm
Laid it down upon the sword
Dm
Laid down upon the sword

Late night TV roared
