Hi! Oh I love this song:) So good! I had to laugh because
I found the lyrics online and whoever posted them obviously
had no clue as to what this song was talking about and the
famous people it was referencing. The name mistakes in here
had me shaking my head. I added the wrong lyrics at the
bottom for a good laugh ;)
Play along to get the strumming/timing down-

!!NOTES!!
**The chords in '( )' can be ignored, but they sound
good if you can get the timing right :) The one strum D*
before the G in the chorus is quick!**
Thanks NBA96 for your suggestions!

Would "Devon" be just a poet? [Umm who? Try Bob Dylan]
...Or would "Leonard" still be here...? [Good grief, Lennon! John Lennon!!]
...Or the rolling stone he stood...? [Or The Rolling Stones mistook..]
...Or would Jepson be just a dancer...? [Wait what??? Jackson!!
Michael Jackson! Ya know, The King of Pop?? Incredible dancer?? LOL!!]
