Mr Johnson didn't sleep too well last night
G# D# G# D# G#
he dreamt about the early days again
D# G# D#
looking in his mirror, feeling sad because
G# D# G# D#
he looked much better then
[Chorus]
Cm
He played his guitar
D#
what a star
Cm F
he broke every heart, his clothes were so smart
G# A#
mr Johnson cries when
G# A#
he recalls the days when he was everybody's face
D# (intro)
[Verse]
Mr Johnson takes a walk
he passes by the record store and sighs
he considers entering but hesitates, it's silly
cause it's just because he won't be recognized
[Chorus]
Cm
He played his guitar
D#
what a star
Cm F
he broke every heart, his clothes were so smart
G# A#
mr Johnson cries when
G# A#
he recalls the days when he was everybody's face

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