Johnny was a schoolboy
        G                       A
When he heard his first Beatles song
        E
Love Me Do, I think it was
         G                        A
And from there it didn't take him long
              E
Got himself a guitar
        G          A
Used to play every night
              E      
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
    G              A
And everything's alright

Johnny told his Mama,
G                      A
"Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away
                  E
I'm Gonna hit the big time
      G                 A
Gonna be a big star someday"
          E
Mama came to the door
       G               A
With a teardrop in her eye
              E
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama"
G                    A
Smiled and waved goodbye

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
