Biography:
Like a lot of musicians, Johns started young. When he was nine, his father presented him with a guitar. By the time he was a teenager in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, he had established his own band, the Devilles. The group performed in local clubs and cut a few records on the Dixie record label. Shifting to Atlanta, he began to make a name for himself and snagged a recording contract in 1973. General Recording Corporation put out Johns' first solo record, "Early Morning Love," the following year.

[Intro]
riff A Asus2 Asus4
riff A Asus2 Asus4
[Verse 1]
riff A Asus2 Asus4
I gave a girl
riff A Asus2 Asus4
a ride in the wagon
riff A Asus2 Asus4 riff A Asus2 Asus4
she crawled in and took control
riff A Asus2 Asus4 riff A Asus2 Asus4
she was tired 'cause her mind was a-draggin'
riff A Asus2 Asus4 riff A Asus2 Asus4
I said get some sleep and dream of rock and roll
[Chorus]
Asus4 E
cause like a princess she was laying there
D A
moonlight dancing off her hair
E
she woke up and took me by the hand
Bm
shes gonna love me in my Chevy van
D E A
and thats all right with me
[Verse 2] (chords same as verse 1 above)
her young face was like that of an angel
her long legs were tanned and brown
better keep your eyes on the road son
better slow this vehicle down
[Chorus]
Asus4 E
cause like a princess she was laying there
D A
moonlight dancing off her hair
E
she woke up and took me by the hand
Bm
shes gonna love me in my Chevy van
D E A
and thats all right with me
[Verse 3] (chords same as verse 1 above)
I put her out in a town that was so small
you could throw a rock from end to end
a dirt road main street
she walked off in bare feet
its a shame I won't be passin' through again
(chorus again x2, but this time sing the
last line as 'we made love in my Chevy van and
thats allright with me')
