Verse 1

E
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion;
E
Oh yeah, the boy can play
A
Dedication, devotion;
E
turning all the night time into the day

Here comes Johnny gonna tell you the story;
hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory;
backbeat the talkin' blues
A

E
Oh yeah, the boy can play
A
Dedication, devotion;
E
turning all the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk
               E                               A
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
           E     B                       A
You do the walk, yeh, you do the walk of life;

you do the walk of life
E   A   B A B
Woo hoo
