From the album: "A Moment of Forever" Email: Standard tunning INTRO: Following the harp..."This is the true story" Once upon a dusty reservation Somewhere in the land of Sittin’ Bull Johnny Lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces Locked inside a Heaven gone to hell G Fm# All the dreams were gone but not forgotten Murdered like the holy buffalo Fm# G A Johnny Lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior Fightin’ for his people and his soul CHORUS: ------------ Oh......Johnny Lobo Oh......Johnny Lobo D chord is played by 2 guitars picking the strings and following the strumming as melody. CHORD CHORD -Dadd9 CHORD -Dadd9 CHORD e|----2-------2--------2-------2-------2-----0-2-------2-----0------------| B|------3---3------------3---3-----------3------------3-----2------------| G|--2-----2----------2-----2---------2-----2---------2-----2------------| D|------------| A|------------| E|------------| May not be accurate but sounds OK.Same pattern can be followed just strumming and playing D-Dadd9-D5 ------------ Rooted down with lessons that he carried Home from Vietnam to Wounded Knee Johnny Lobo burned the flag he knew had been dishonored Paid the price for thinkin’ he was free G Fm# Someone set his house afire burned it to the ground Fm# A With his wife and children locked inside Fm# G A Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes Somethin’ good in Johnny Lobo died CHORUS Harp melody... In a darkened corner of a tavern Burnin’ down old memories again Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dreams of clouds Runnin’ like wild horses with the wind G Fm# Holy phoenix rising from the ashes Fm# A Into the circle of the sun Fm# G A Johnny Lobo’s warrior heart was burnished in the embers And the battle’s just begun CHORUS outro: I’ve tried to place the chords most accurate to the precisely moment when singing lyrics. It means that every single "space" corresponds to the beating and strumming pattern. So as an example when singing the part: Rooted down with lessons that he carried ... Guitar is strumming the chord right before starting singin’ therefore space. And therefore also no space left when: Somewhere in the land of Sittin’ Bull ... But every ear brain and personality chooses the sounds differently. So be free to sing the song as you please. Better enjoy the singin’than get crazy tryin’ mathemathics on a guitar.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire poignante de Johnny Lobo, un homme d'origine amérindienne qui se bat pour sa culture et sa dignité dans un monde où ses rêves semblent perdus. On évoque des souvenirs chargés de douleur, entre des leçons apprises au combat et des luttes personnelles, alors qu'il tente de préserver l'héritage de son peuple au milieu des épreuves. La destruction de sa maison avec sa famille à l'intérieur symbolise les pertes tragiques qu’il endure, mais malgré cela, son esprit de guerrier renaît avec la promesse d’un renouveau. Le cadre de cette histoire se déroule dans des lieux chargés d'histoire, entre réserves indiennes et souvenirs de guerres passées, mettant en lumière la quête de liberté et la résilience face à l'adversité. Les événements sont ancrés dans la réalité des injustices vécues par les peuples autochtones, et Johnny Lobo incarne cette lutte continuelle pour un avenir meilleur.
