intro: D
                         Em                              C
Johnny is hiding in the bushes in the dirt with his new blue shoes
                   D
Scared of going home
                           Em                               C
His daddy said he's gonna beat him so he waits until he's sleeping
             D
On a bed of stone
 
              C                           G
When Johnny sings everything is changing colors
                           Am
And the sorrow's getting smaller
          G                D
And it's warm around your soul
             C                              G
When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous
                            Am
Cause he's got the looks of Elvis
        G                   D
And he just makes you feel fine
 
                         Em                      C
Johnny often stays with Mary, Mary isn't really caring
                  D
And has hardly time
                            Em                                 C
She didn't notice Johnny's missing then one day the cops came knocking
                  D
On her wooden door
 
              C                           G
When Johnny sings everything is changing colors
                           Am
And the sorrow's getting smaller
          G                D
And it's warm around your soul
             C                              G
When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous
                            Am
Cause he's got the looks of Elvis
        G                   D
And he just makes you feel fine
 
D  Em C D Em C D
Oooh... Oooh...
 
              Em                             C
And Mary's struggling on her own, nothing's right and nothing's wrong
        G                                 D
She was far too young and feeling left alone
                Em                               C
When they were knocking on her door, tears were falling on the floor
          G                           D
A little bird was flying to another shore
 
              C                           G
When Johnny sings everything is changing colors
                           Am
And the sorrow's getting smaller
          G                D
And it's warm around your soul
             C                              G
When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous
                            Am
Cause he's got the looks of Elvis
        G                   D
And he just makes you feel fine
 
             C   G          D
When Johnny sings, when he smiles
             C   G              D
When Johnny sings, and when he smiles
