This is a slightly simplified version, on the record there is a fast C#m and Bm 
between the D and A 
but this way is a bit easier to play and sing at the same time.



A5              B5              C#5               B5
 When you were satisfying your thirst for success
                D5
 And you looked older than I did
A5         B5                  C#5              B5
 I didn't think that that was you at your best
         D5                   A5
 We were only lonely little kids
        B5                   C#5                B5
 Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes
D5
 We were little kids
     A5             B5        C#5           B5
 And you could say sorry ten billion times
     D5                         A5
 But sorry didn't do what you did
           B5                C#5               B5
 I threw myself at you and I threw myself away
        D5                                        A5
 Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

B5           C#5    B5      D5                A5
 Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things 
        B5               C#5     B5
 Lovely things, to lovely other people
     D5
 And I'm not invited.


     E5               A5            D5
 But I love the back garden at my parents' place
     E5          A5              D5 
 And I love the view out of my Glasgow window
     E5      A5                D5 
 And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,
     E5              A5           D5          
 And you don't know any of these things. 


          A5                B5               C#5                B5
 And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing
       D5                                   A5             B5
 And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did
     C#5   B5                 D5           
 Somehow I found out and I was disappointed
     A5            B5               C#5        B5   
 But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes
       D5                                A5              B5
 And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets
             C#5    B5              D5 
 Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train
                     A5                   B5              C#5       B5
 And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you
             D5                                            A5             
 And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes 
 B5                     C#5              B5
 Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you      
            D5                                           A5
 Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
B5        C#5
 'cause I adore you
 B5      D5                                          A5
 I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you
 B5          C#5    B5      D5
 Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say


 E5    A5        D5
 It's not like Elvis 
 E5    A5        D5
 It's not like Elvis 
 E5    A5        D5
 It's not like Elvis 
 E5    A5        D5
 It's not like Elvis 
                               A5     B5 C#5 B5 D5
