  • Words & music by paul simon
  • I was reading a magazine
  • And thinking of a rock and roll song
  • The year was nineteen fiftyfour
  • And I hadnt been playing that long
  • When a man came on the radio
  • And this is what he said
  • He said I hate to break it to his fans
  • But johnny ace is dead, yeah, yeah, yeah
  • Well, I really wasnt
  • Such a johnny ace fan
  • But I felt bad ali the same
  • So I sent away for his photograph
  • And I waited till it came
  • It came all the way from texas
  • With a sad and sim-ple face
  • And they signed it on the bottom
  • From the late great johnny ace, yeah, yeah, yeah
  • It was the year of the beatles
  • It was the year of the stones
  • It was nineteen sixtyfour
  • I was living in london
  • With the girl from the summer be-fore
  • It was the year of the beatles
  • It was the year of the stones
  • A year after j.f.k.
  • We were staying up all night
  • And giving the days away
  • And the music was flowing amazing
  • And blowing my way
  • On a cold december evening
  • I was walking through the christmas tide
  • When a stranger came up and asked me
  • If Id heard john lennon had died
  • And the two of us went to this bar
  • And we stayed to close the place
  • And every song we played
  • Was for the late great johnny ace, yeah, yeah, yeah
