       E5                         
Johnny Jones woke up one day from 
G
dreaming
     E5                            
Told Bill the bass and soon they 
    A
had a plan
   E5                             
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy 
C
Benny
    G                   A
Ah, suddenly they had a band

D   G        Bm
Hey Johnny's Band
   D                A/C#      Bm
He sure knew how to work up a crowd
    D               G            
The sound that they made put the 
Bm
rest in the shade
        G    Bm       A
And the word soon got around (Intro 
riff)

     E5                            
They played every dance hall in the
 G
 city

E5                            A
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five
       E5                    C
With a bullet it shot to the top of 
the pops
   G                      A
Oh man it was good to be alive

D    G        Bm
Hail Johnny's Band
D            A      Bm
Hear them on the radio
D           G              
Smash after smash now they're 
   Bm
rolling in the cash
    G         D              A     D
Whatever they touch turns to gold

E5                       G
Benny went down with the hard stuff
    E5                     A
And Pete joined a cult in LA
E5                      C
Johnny and Bill started going 
downhill
        G            D        A
And the crowds began melting away

    D         G        Bm
But hey, it's Johnny's Band
        D        A             Bm
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
    D             G          
The beards may be long and the 
  Bm
money's long gone
       G           D           
It's a wonder that they're still 
   A
around
    D         G        Bm
But hey, it's Johnny's Band
D                 A         Bm
Playing all those wonderful songs
D          G                Bm
Making the rounds with that old 
fashioned sound
    G           D        A
And here we are singing along
