From: wvaughan@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (William Vaughan) Here's my favorite Joe Jackson tune, as close as I can get it. I'm not sure about the G/A and G/B in the chorus, but I can't find anything else close. I believe the rest is right after seeing Joe a couple of times in 91. Listen to the tune to get the struming pattern down - its not as easy as it looks. Correct as needed.

For the way things turned out Verse 2 - same pattern as 1st Well six long months passed and Johnny was the hottest thing alive We loved Johnny and we owned Johnny Nobody knew how Johnny felt inside But Johnny was beautiful he was like a God We all went along for the ride The ride started to go too fast Johnny just conviently died Prechorus 2(same as 1st) And he went up in flames He did what he had to do Chorus

Verse 3 - same as other two Well now days there's lots of guys like Johnny They got it all worked out, like working nine to five But they're all cartoons, they all think they're superman But they can't even fly They say that Johnny's ghost walks down in Memphis Wehn the moon is full and high And I wonder if he sees these jokers I wonder if he laughs or if he cries Prechorus - same Now he's an angel in flames but what about you and me.
