 Alternate between the two. I left my guitar at home so here's an
 Approximation of chord locations.

 A E D A
 Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
 A E G A
 Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
 Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
 Now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right
 A E
 Don't you know?
 Johnny told his Momma, Hey Momma I'm goin' away
 I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
 Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
 Johnny said, Don't cry Momma smile & wave goodbye
 Don't you know, yeah, yeah
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you know, don't you know
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 And all the world will love you just as long
 As long as you are
 Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
 Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
 Watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
 Johnny looked around him and said, Well, I made the big time at
 Last
 Don't you know, don't you know
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you know, woah yeah
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah
 And all the world will love you just as long
 As long as you are, a shooting star
 (guitar solo)
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you know, ahhh
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 And all the world will love you just as long
 As long as you are
 Johnny died one night, died in his bed
 Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets by his head
 Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
 If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play
 Woah...
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you know, don't you know
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you know
 Don't you know that you are a shooting star
 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know
 Don't you know you are a shooting star
 (improvise)
 Na, na, na, na. (to end)
