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"
D         E

D     E

And all the world will love you just as long
               E   D  E
As long as you are

A             E
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

As long as you are  a shooting star

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
