St Vincent - Prince Johnny Chords & Tabs

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,
     (G)Am                      (G)Am
You're kind but you're not simple
      (G)Am                      (G)Am
By now I think I know the difference
          D      C      G
You wanna be the son of someone


  G                           Em
Remember the time we went and snorted
  G                                   Em
A piece of the Berlin wall that you'd extorted
    D      C      G
And we had such a laugh of it?
D         C     G
Prostrate on my carpet

    Am     (G)Am                    (G)Am
You traced the Andes with your index
           (G)Am                                   (G)Am
And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
D        C       G
All with sons of someones
D        C       G
All with sons of someones

By now I know just when to stand clear
     D        C           G
When all your friends and acolytes are
D       C        G
Holding court in bathroom stalls

But honey, don't mistake my affection

For another spit-and-penny style redemption

We're all sons of someones

To make me a real girl

To make me a real girl
