Poor old Johnny Ray
        F                          C                 G
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
C
 Our mothers cried
F           F                 C        G
Sang along, who'd blame them

These people round here
            F
wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
      C                    G
so resigned to what their fate is
    C                    Em
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
F                                C       G
we are far too young and clever             remember
