verse 1 
       E5                         G 
Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming 
     E5                                A 
Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan 
   E5                             C 
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny 
    G                   A 
Ah, suddenly they had a band 

D   G        Bm 
Hey Johnny's Band 
   D                A/C#      Bm 
He sure knew how to work up a crowd 
    D               G            Bm 
The sound that they made put the rest in the shade 
        G    Bm       A 
And the word soon got around (Intro riff) 


verse 2 
     E5                             G 
They played every dance hall in the city 
E5                            A 
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five 
       E5                    C 
With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops 
   G                      A 
Oh man it was good to be alive 

D    G        Bm 
Hail Johnny's Band 
D            A      Bm 
Hear them on the radio 
D           G                 Bm 
Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash 
    G         D              A     D 
Whatever they touch turns to gold

verse 3 
E5                       G 
Benny went down with the hard stuff 
    E5                     A 
And Pete joined a cult in LA 
E5                      C 
Johnny and Bill started going downhill 
        G            D        A 
And the crowds began melting away 

    D         G        Bm 
But hey, it's Johnny's Band 
        D        A             Bm 
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown 
    D             G            Bm 
The beards may be long and the money's long gone 
       G           D              A 
It's a wonder that they're still around 
    D         G        Bm 
But hey, it's Johnny's Band 
D                 A         Bm 
Playing all those wonderful songs 
D          G                Bm 
Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound 
    G           D        A 
And here we are singing along (End with intro riff)
