[Verse 1]
[G]Johnny was a sch[D]oolboy
When he [F]heard
his first Beatles [G]song
'Love Me [D]Do', I think it was
And from [F]there
it didn't take him [G]long
Got himself a [D]guitar
Used to [F]play every [G]night
Now he's in a [D]rock and roll outfit
And [F]everything's all [G]right
[C]Don't ya [D]know[C][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Johnny told his mam[D]a
Hey, [F]Mama, I'm going [G]away
I'm gonna hit the [D]big time
Gonna [F]be a big star some[G]day
Momma came [D]to the door
With a [F]teardrop in her [G]eye
Johnny said, [D]"Don't cry Momma
[F]Smile and wave [G]goodbye"
[C]Don't you [D]know [C](yeah [D]yeah)

Don't you [C]know that you are a [G]shooting star
[C]Don't you [D]know, [C]don't you [D]know
Don't you [C]know that you are a [G]shooting star
And [F]all the world will love you
Just as [C]long, as long as you [D]are[C][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Johnny made a rec[D]ord
Went [F]straight up
to number [G]one
Suddenly [D]everyone loved to
[F]hear him sing his [G]song
Watching the [D]world go by
Sur[F]prising it goes so [G]fast
Johnny looked [D]around him and said
"Well I [F]made the big time at [G]last"
[C]Don't you [D]know
[C]Don't you [D]know

[G]Johnny died one[D] night
[F]Died in his [G]bed
Bottle of [D]whiskey, sleeping [F]tablets
By his [G]head
Johnny's life [D]passed him by
Like a [F]warm summer [G]day
If you listen to the [D]wind
You can [F]still hear him [G]play[C]
