Johnny Wants To Be A Star Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Now every [D]day I'd
see him out on the front porch
With the guitar across his lap
He'd be sit[G]tin' there diggin'
that transistor radio
Figurin' all them hit songs out
While the [D]other kids
would sit around and [G]wait on sticks
Till [D]Johnny got his guitar
[G]down and he'd hit
Cause [D]that's the way Johnny
used to [G]get his kicks
Tryin' to figure out some new
heart and lick[A]s[G]
[D]Little Johnny wants to be a star
Little Johnny wants to be a [A]star
[G]All he wants to do is sing a little song
And play music on a fine guitar
You hear him going
[D]Mm -hmm, mm -hmm
Mm -hmm, mm -hmm
Deep in there, [G]Johnny[D][A][G][D]
Now every time a show
would come to town,
you'd find Johnny on
the front row seat
He'd be sit[G]tin' there
starin' all misty -eyed,
never missin' one single beat
And [D]when the show was over
he would [G]go straight home,
get his [D]guitar down
and he [G]would play it till dawn
Dream[D]in' of a time when
[G]he'd be grown
and someday have a show of his [A]own
[D]Little Johnny wants to be a star,
Little Johnny wants to be a [A]star
All [G]he wants to do is sing a little song
and make music on a fine guitar
You hear him [D]going, mm -hmm,
mm -hmm, mm [G]-hmm[D][A]
[G][D]
One day he picked up his
songs and his guitar
He kissed his little mama goodbye
He drove to [G]New York City
to see a record producer
Asking if he'd give him a try
And so they [D]took him to the studio,
they [G]turned him loose
And [D]when he started singing
and play[G]ing the blues
He saw him [D]breathing inside
that con[G]trol room booth
Yes, everybody knew the [A]truth
[D]Little Johnny's gonna be a star
Little Johnny's gonna be a [A]star
At [G]last he's singing a big hit song
And making music on a fine guitar
They heard him going,
[D]mm -hmm, mm -hmm.
Show them, Johnny.
[G]
