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 
D         E    D E 
Don't you know?

A               E 
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 
smile and wave 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 
               E 
Johnny looked around him and said, 
         G                    A 
"Well, I made the big-time at last" 
D         E

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