I believe the rest is right after seeing Joe a couple of times in 91. Listen to the tune to get the struming pattern down - its not as easy as it looks. Correct as needed.

La chanson évoque l’histoire tragique d’un jeune homme, Johnny, qui connaît un succès fulgurant mais éphémère. Tous le célèbrent, admirant son charme et sa beauté, sans vraiment comprendre ses véritables émotions. À l’apogée de sa popularité, il fait face à une fin brutale, illustrant le coût souvent caché de la célébrité. On se rappelle de lui comme d’une étoile montante, partie trop tôt, laissant derrière lui des interrogations sur le sens de cet engouement et la nature éphémère de la gloire. Le contexte semble traiter de la superficialité du monde du spectacle, où l’apparence prime sur l’authenticité. Dans un monde où beaucoup tentent de copier le modèle de Johnny, l’histoire soulève aussi une réflexion sur les illusions de succès et de pouvoir. En fin de compte, la chanson nous pousse à penser à la vie au-delà des feux de la rampe et à la manière dont les véritables luttes et émotions sont souvent invisibles aux yeux des admirateurs.
