Intro

Dm G Dm G Dm G F C G

If youDm reach back in your Gmemory

a Dmlittle bell might Gring

'bout a Dmtime that once eGxisted

when Dmmoney wasn't Gking

if you sAmtreech your iEmmagination

i'll Amtell you all aEm tale

aDmbout a time when Ameverything

Fwasn't Cup for Gsale

there Dmwas this cat named Gjohnny

who Dmloved to play and Gsing

when Fmoney Cwasn't Gking

we'd Dmall get so Gexcited when

Dmjohn would do a Gshow

we'd Dmraise the cash Gbetween us

and Dmdown the road we'd Ggo

to Amhear him play that Emmusic

it Amspoke right to my Emsoul

Dmevery verse a Amdiamond

Fevery Cchorus Ggold

the Dmsound was my Gsalvation

it was only everything

before money became king

well i aAin't sure how it Ehappend

and i doAn't know exactly Ewhen

but eAverything got bEigger

and the Arules began to bEend

and the Atv taught the peGople

how to gAet their hair to sGhine

and hAow sweet life can Gbe

if you kAeep a tight bGehind

and they Fraised the cost of Gliving

and Fhow could we have kGnown

they'd dFouble the price of Gtickets

to Fgo see johnny's sGhow

F C G

so we hoDmcked all our Gpossesions

and we sDmold a little Gdope

and went Foff to Crock and Groll

Dmwe arrived there Gearly

in Dmtime to see rGehearsal

and Dmjohn came out and liGp-synched

his Dmnew lite beer Gcommercial

and Amas the crowd Emarrived

as Amfar as i could Emsee

the Dmfaces were all Amdifferent

there was nFo one tChere like Gme

they Dmsat in golden Gcircles

and wDmaiters sevred them Gwine

and Dmtalked through all the Gmusic

and to jDmohn paid little Gmind

and Amway up in the Emnosebleeds

we Amwatched him on the Emscreen

they'd hDmung between the Ambillboards

so Fcheaper Cseats could sGee

johnny rAocked that golden Ecircle

and Aall those viEp's

and that Amusic thast had sEaved us

becaAme a tired rEoutine

and i saAw his face in clGose-up

trying to gAive it all he Ghad

and someAtimes his eyes betGrayed him

you could sAee that he was sGad

and i trFied to rock on wGith him

but i slFowly became bGored

could that Fman on stage

with Geverything

Fsomehow need some Gmore?

F C G

there wasDm no use in preGtending

no mDmagic left to Ghear

Dmall the music Ggave me

was a Dmcraving for lite bGeer

as i Dmwalked out of the aGrena

my Dmears began to Gring

and Fmoney Cbecame Gking

Dm G Dm G Dm G F C G
