Johnny was a schoolboy

Love Me Do, I think it was

Gonna be a big star someday"
          E
Mama came to the door
       G               A
With a teardrop in her eye

Johnny made a record
     G                     A
Went straight up to number one
         E
Suddenly everyone loved
   G                 A
To hear him sing his song
             E
Watchin' the world go by
G                     A
Surprisin' it goes so fast

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
          E                G              A
Bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head
              E                    G           A
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
                     E            G              A
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
D    E   D E
