The Late Great Johnny Ace (Original Acoustic Demo) - Paul Simon[00:00:00]
I was reading a magazine[00:00:14]
And thinking of a rock and roll song[00:00:17]
The year was 1956[00:00:20]
And I hadn't been playing that long[00:00:23]
When a man came on the radio[00:00:26]
And this is what he said[00:00:30]
He said I hate to break it to his fans[00:00:34]
But johnny ace is dead yeah yeah yeah[00:00:38]
Well I really wasn't[00:00:46]
Such a johnny ace fan[00:00:48]
But I felt bad ali the same[00:00:49]
So I sent away for his photograph[00:00:53]
And I waited till it came[00:00:56]
It came all the way from texas[00:00:59]
With a sad and sim-ple face[00:01:02]
And they signed it on the bottom[00:01:07]
From the late great johnny ace yeah yeah yeah[00:01:10]
It was the year of the beatles[00:01:28]
It was the year of the stones[00:01:30]
It was nineteen sixtyfour[00:01:33]
I was living in london[00:01:40]
With the girl from the summer be-fore[00:01:42]
It was the year of the beatles[00:01:50]
It was the year of the stones[00:01:51]
A year after j f k [00:01:54]
We were staying up all night[00:02:01]
And giving the days away[00:02:03]
And the music was flowing amazing[00:02:10]
And blowing my way[00:02:14]
On a cold december evening[00:02:29]
I was walking through the christmas tide[00:02:32]
When a stranger came up and asked me[00:02:36]
If I'd heard john lennon had died[00:02:39]
And the two of us went to this bar[00:02:43]
And we stayed to close the place[00:02:46]
And every song we played[00:02:51]
Was for the late great johnny ace yeah yeah yeah[00:02:53]
