[E] Johnny was a [G] schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song.

The [E] love he do, I think it [G] was, and from there it wouldn't [A] take long.

[A]
[E] Mama came to the door [G] with a teardrop [A] in her eye.
Johnny [E] said, don't cry mama, [G] smile and wave goodbye.
[E] Don't you know, [D] don't you know that you are [A] a shooting star?
[E] Don't you know, don't you [D] know that you are [A] a shooting star?
[G] And all the world will love you just [D] as long, as long as [E] you are.
