Intro: D A A E G A G D 2x. A
A E G A
Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was And from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit And everything's alright
E D E
Don't you know?
Johnny told his Mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away
I'm Gonna hit the big time Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama, smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know? Yeah……yeah.....
D A
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
E D E

D A
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
G D E
And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watchin' the world go by; surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, "Well, I made the big-time at last"
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Chorus
Solo: F# E B x3 F# E
Chorus
Johnny died one night, died in his bed.
Bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head.
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day.
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play. Woooooh
