Standard (EADGBE)

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
