D  
The word is out from street to street 
G                         D 
Little Johnny East is Dead 
D       
They wrapped him in his winding sheet 
G                         D 
and set a stone above his head 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 

D 
The relics of his reckless games 
G                       D 
little Johnny east is dead 
D 
His cars and trucks and ships and planes 
G                        D 
are in a box beneath his bed 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
D 
the Sun beats down and the winter rages 
G                     D 
little Johnny east is dead 
D 
And all the dust from all the ages 
G                     D 
settles down upon his head 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
D 
There comes a time we cannot name 
G                     D 
little Johnny east is dead 
D 
When cars and trucks and ships and planes 
G                                D 
Will stain the seams of rock rust red. 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D  
Sleep Johnny Sleep 

D 
When bed and toys and blood and bones 
G                     D 
little Johnny east is dead 
D 
Locked inside a seam of stone 
G                                 D 
where shoals of shimmering fishes roam 
D 
and unimagined sharks 
G           D   
cruise over head 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep 
G            D 
Sleep Johnny Sleep
