    Verse 1
    Young 
    Johnny, 

    he 
    really 
    had 
    a way 

    He did 
    his homework 
    on 
    the school 
    bus 

    And he 
    always 
    got 
    an A 

    And 
    the girls 
    liked 
    Johnny 

    More 
    than 
    anyone 
    'cept 

    maybe 
    Elton 
    John 

    Later 
    on 
    in high 
    school 

    He could
    n't 
    keep 
    his 
    red 

    suspenders 
    on 

    (chorus) 

    Oh 
    where's 
    Johnny 
    has 

    he gone 
    away 

    Oh 
    where's 
    Johnny 
    will he 

    be 
    back 
    someday 

    Verse 2

    He 
    had 
    a room 
    full 
    of trophies 

    From 
    the track 
    meets 
    and the 

    ten
    nis 
    games 
    he'd 
    win 

    He 
    was 
    a full-blown 
    whiz 
    whiz 
    kid 

    Bound 
    to be 
    a Renaissance 
    man 

    Then 
    he went 
    on 
    off 
    to college 

    Got 
    his 
    head 
    stuck 
    in 
    a dif

    ferent 
    state 
    of mind 

    When 
    they 
    asked 
    him 
    was 
    it 
    alcohol? 

    He told 
    them 
    it was 
    nothing 
    of the 
    kind 

    Just 
    life 
    … just 
    life, 

    Interlude 1
    mom 





    Verse 3
    (chorus) 
    But Johnny's 

    alright 
    he 
    just 

    turned 
    out 
    his 
    lights 

    They'd have 
    paid 
    it no 
    mind 

    had 
    he not 
    been 
    so 
    bright 

    He 
    opened 
    up 
    his 
    eyes 
    and he 

    snapped 
    out 
    of the 
    groove 

    He saw 
    both 
    sides 
    of 
    everything 

    and 
    found 
    he 
    could not 

    move 

    Verse 4
    Johnny 
    moved 
    home 

    Now 
    he 
    reads 
    lot 
    of 
    poetry 

    and 
    plays 

    He'll sit 
    out 
    in 
    the backyard 

    And 
    not 
    say 
    a word 
    to 
    anyone 
    for days 

    And 
    his folks 
    gave 
    up 

    They 
    no 
    longer 
    even 
    bother 

    getting 
    through 

    He's 
    thirty-odd 
    years 
    years 
    old 

    They 
    must 
    have 
    figured 
    there's 
    just 
    so 
    much 

    you 
    can 
    do 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 5
    His 
    mother 
    keeps 
    his 
    pictures 

    In 
    the scrapbook 
    in the 

    drawer 
    with 
    her pearls 

    She 
    polishes 
    the trophies 

    That 
    he 
    won 
    back 
    when 
    they 
    thought 

    he'd save 
    the 
    world 

    Back 
    when 
    the girls 
    liked 
    Johnny 

    More 
    than 
    anyone 
    'cept 

    maybe 
    Elton 
    John 

    She 
    won
    ders 
    where's 
    her 
    little 
    boy 

    With the 
    braces 
    and 
    the red 

    suspenders 
    gone 


    Just 
    life …

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
