[Verse 1]
E
Here comes Johnny, singing oldies, goldies,

Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby, what I say.

Here comes Johnny, singing, I gotta woman,

down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay.
A                                     E
He got the action, he got the motion, oh yeah ! The boy can play.
A                     E
Dedication, devotion, turning all the night time into the day.

[Chorus]
            E                           B
He`d do the song about the sweet lovin' woman,
E                                   A
he`d do the song about the knife,
            E     B              A
he`d do the walk, do the walk of life. 
B                         E
Yeah, he`d do the walk of life. 

[Interlude]
| E | A | B | A B |
(woo-hoo!)

[Verse 2]
E
Here comes Johnny, now he'll tell you the story,
E
hand me down my walkin' shoes.
E
here comes Johnny with the power and the glory,
E
back-beats, the talkin' blues.
A
He got the action, he got the motion, 
E
oh yeah, the boy can play.
A                     E
Dedication, devotion, turning all the night time into

the day.

[Chorus]
            E                           B
He`d do the song about the sweet lovin' woman,
E                               A
he`d do the song about the knife,
            E     B              A
he`d do the walk, do the walk of life. 
B                         E
Yeah, he`d do the walk of life.

E                              B
And after all the violence and double talk,
               E                           A
there's just a song in all the trouble and strife,
           E     B                  A
You do the walk, you do the walk of life. 
B                        E
Yeah, you do the walk of life.
