Play 2 times
[Verse 1]
E5 G
Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming
E5 A
Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan
E5 C
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny
G A
Ah, suddenly they had a band
[Chorus]
D G Bm
Hey Johnny's Band
D A/C# Bm
He sure knew how to work up a crowd
D G Bm
The sound that they made put the rest in the shade
G Bm A
And the word soon got around (Intro riff)
[Verse 2]
E5 G
They played every dance hall in the 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
[Chorus]
D G Bm
Hail Johnny's Band
D A Bm
Hear them on the radio
D G Bm
Smash after smash now they're 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
[Chorus]
D G Bm
But hey, it's Johnny's Band
D A Bm
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
D G Bm
The beards may be long and the money's long gone
G D A
It's a wonder that they're still 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 (End with intro riff)
