Poor old Johnny Ray
F C G
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried
F C G
Sang along, who'd blame them

You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)

[Verse 2]

C Em
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
F C G
we are far too young and clever (remember)
C Em F
