Of Johnny makes believe

He was the greatest liar
Of all man kind
The biggest drunk
You ever saw alive

Bridge 1:
Bm       C
He was a devil
Bm       C
Undisguise
Em(I)      Bm                 D
He will be sorely missed tonight

Verse:
[D]          G
And the next day
Will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make Believe

So let's get high
Laugh till we cry
Always remember his last words

Farewell cruel world
All you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers
Hold me in your dreams

Bridge 1:
And then the spirit
In the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride

Bridge 2:
D7      G
Come on waitress
G7          C
Pour's more wine
D7           G
To drown our grief
D7                G

Tatooed my heart
Branded my soul

Not for the fool's gold, yeah

So let's get high
Laugh 'till we cry
Don't send me flowers
Hold me in your dreams

Bridge 1:
Yeah, and then the spirit
In the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride

In the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
