Capo 1 
 Am                              F    G          Am
Harry was a bus driver, he was a very forthright man
Am                                        F         G          Am
He'd run down the road right over a dog before he'd change his path 
    F       G    C        Am              F         G      Am  
And then he met lovely Loraine they had a rough and tumble lad 
       F           G            C              Am        F            G         Am         
And it didn't come easy but the boy learned to play on a twelve pound pawn shop axe


Chorus:
F    G         C        Am 
Everybody sing loud and shout
F       G          Am
Dreamin he’s a pop star
    F          G         C           Am 
The boys came about that mersey beat sound
     F                           E
With crude little sketches of guitars


Well they heard of a sound from a faraway land that was ruled by a cricket and a king
But a pauper's son would one day come from twenty-five Upton Green
And there everyday was a place to play when the final bell had rung
And when the big day come he was just too young and they sent em' all back home 

Chorus

Solo


Well the wild ones don't think much of Johnny, yeah a critic's got it rough
But you're a real king mixer and it's my train mister if you think that's all I've got
You'll be beaten on down By mersey sound and then you'll have to choose
Between standing on your own or singing right along with the ones no better than you

Chorus
