Mr Johnson didn't sleep to well
                C
last night he dreamt about the
G            C      G      C
early days again
G               C               G
Looking in his mirror, feeling sad
            C              G        C     G
because he looked much better then

                  Em
He played his guitar
         G
what a star
                Em
He broke every heart, his clothes
          A
were so smart
C            D          C
Mr Johnson cries, when he recalls
                    D
the day when he was everybody's face

Mr Johnson takes a walk
    G             C              G     C      G
He passes by the record store and sighs (and sigh)
G            C
He considers entering
     G               C
but hesitated, it's silly, cause
      G               C          G
it's just because he won't be recognized

                  Em
He played his guitar
         G
what a star
                Em
He broke every heart, his clothes
          A
were so smart
C            D          C
Mr Johnson cries, when he recalls
                    D
the day when he was everybody's face

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

                  Em
He played his guitar
         G
what a star
                Em
He broke every heart, his clothes
          A
were so smart
C            D          C
Mr Johnson cries, when he recalls
                    D
the day when he was everybody's face

C                               D                G
He recalls the day when he was everybody's face
