《The Late Great Johnny Ace(Original Acoustic Demo)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Late Great Johnny Ace (Original Acoustic Demo) - Paul Simon

[00:00:14] I was reading a magazine

[00:00:17] And thinking of a rock and roll song

[00:00:20] The year was 1956

[00:00:23] And I hadn't been playing that long

[00:00:26] When a man came on the radio

[00:00:30] And this is what he said

[00:00:34] He said I hate to break it to his fans

[00:00:38] But johnny ace is dead yeah yeah yeah

[00:00:46] Well I really wasn't

[00:00:48] Such a johnny ace fan

[00:00:49] But I felt bad ali the same

[00:00:53] So I sent away for his photograph

[00:00:56] And I waited till it came

[00:00:59] It came all the way from texas

[00:01:02] With a sad and sim-ple face

[00:01:07] And they signed it on the bottom

[00:01:10] From the late great johnny ace yeah yeah yeah

[00:01:28] It was the year of the beatles

[00:01:30] It was the year of the stones

[00:01:33] It was nineteen sixtyfour

[00:01:40] I was living in london

[00:01:42] With the girl from the summer be-fore

[00:01:50] It was the year of the beatles

[00:01:51] It was the year of the stones

[00:01:54] A year after j f k

[00:02:01] We were staying up all night

[00:02:03] And giving the days away

[00:02:10] And the music was flowing amazing

[00:02:14] And blowing my way

[00:02:29] On a cold december evening

[00:02:32] I was walking through the christmas tide

[00:02:36] When a stranger came up and asked me

[00:02:39] If I'd heard john lennon had died

[00:02:43] And the two of us went to this bar

[00:02:46] And we stayed to close the place

[00:02:51] And every song we played

[00:02:53] Was for the late great johnny ace yeah yeah yeah
