Words & music by paul simonI was reading a magazineAnd thinking of a rock and roll songThe year was nineteen fiftyfourAnd I hadnt been playing that longWhen a man came on the radioAnd this is what he saidHe said I hate to break it to his fansBut johnny ace is dead, yeah, yeah, yeahWell, I really wasntSuch a johnny ace fanBut I felt bad ali the sameSo I sent away for his photographAnd I waited till it cameIt came all the way from texasWith a sad and sim-ple faceAnd they signed it on the bottomFrom the late great johnny ace, yeah, yeah, yeahIt was the year of the beatlesIt was the year of the stonesIt was nineteen sixtyfourI was living in londonWith the girl from the summer be-foreIt was the year of the beatlesIt was the year of the stonesA year after j.f.k.We were staying up all nightAnd giving the days awayAnd the music was flowing amazingAnd blowing my wayOn a cold december eveningI was walking through the christmas tideWhen a stranger came up and asked meIf Id heard john lennon had diedAnd the two of us went to this barAnd we stayed to close the placeAnd every song we playedWas for the late great johnny ace, yeah, yeah, yeah
