Johnny Bye Bye - As performed by Bruce Springsteen

 (Chuck Berry/Bruce Springsteen)





         E                               A        E

Well she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust

                              B         E

And put her little boy on the Greyhound Bus

                       A                 E

Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand

                             B         E

With a one way ticket to the Promised Land

                     A               E

Hey little girl with the red dress on

                              B        E

There's party tonight down in Memphis town

                                A          E

I'll be going down there if you need a ride

                          B                E  | E | A E | E | B E

The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died



                        A                E

We drove to Memphis the sky was hard and black

                         B            E

Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac

                                        A              E

They drawed out all his money and they laid him in the back

                                    B               E

A woman cried from the roadside "Oh he's gone, he's gone"

                           A           E

They found him slumped up against the drain

                            B                   E

With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins



                 A         E

Bye bye Johnny, Johnny bye bye

                             B              E

You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die



(Fade out) E | A E | E | B E
