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

 C                  Em 
These people round here
            F 
wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
      C                    G 
so resigned to what their fate is
    C                    Em 
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
 F                                C       G 
we are far too young and clever            (remember)

Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
