Johnny Bye Bye

[Verse]

E                                 
She drew out all her money from 
   A        E
the Southern Trust
And put her little boy on a 
 B         E
Greyhound Bus
                        A          
Leaving Memphis with a guitar in 
   E
his hand
                            B      
On a one-way ticket to the promised
  E
 land
                          A        
Hey little girl with the red dress 
E
on
There's party tonight down in 
 B       E
Memphis town
                                 A 
I'll be going down there if you 
     E
need a ride
Continues after the ad
                           B   
The man on the radio says Elvis 
            E
Presley's died

[Verse]

E                                
We drove down into Memphis, the 
A                E
sky was hard and black
                          B   
Up over the ridge came a white 
      E
Cadillac
They'd drawn out all his money and 
      A               E
they laid him in the back
A woman cried from the roadside "Ah 
      B          E
he's gone, he's gone"
                            A    
They found him slumped up against 
      E
the drain
                             B     
With a whole lot of trouble running
              E
 through his veins

[Chorus]

E
Bye-bye Johnny
A           E
Johnny bye-bye
                             B     
You didn't have to die, you didn't 
         E
have to die
