Mr Johnson didn't sleep too well last night
B F# B F# B
he dreamt about the early days again
F# B F#
looking in his mirror, feeling sad because
B F# B F#
he looked much better then
[Chorus]

He played his guitar
F#
what a star
Ebm G#
he broke every heart, his clothes were so smart
B C#
mr Johnson cries when
B C#
he recalls the days when he was everybody's face
F# (intro)
[Verse]
Mr Johnson takes a walk
he passes by the record store and sighs
he considers entering but hesitates, it's silly
cause it's just because he won't be recognized
[Chorus]
Ebm
He played his guitar
F#
what a star
Ebm G#
he broke every heart, his clothes were so smart
B C#
mr Johnson cries when
B C#
he recalls the days when he was everybody's face

Mr Johnson, humpty-dumpty, sat upon the wall
and had a great fall (had a great fall)
and all the record companies and fat production managers
could not get mr Johnson together again
