[N] [E]
[A]
Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar, [E] minding his own affairs.
[D] Drinking his [Dbm] namesake over the rocks, [E] he was drunk and drunk to care.
[A] When a girl in the bar walked up beside [E] him, and this is what she said,
She [D] said, a woman came by [E] with a letter for you, and this is what the letter [A] said,
Dear John, please Johnny, please come home, [E] I need your love and the kids, they gotta [A] be fed.
And John, if you don't hurry back, [E] I'll be gone.
Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny [A] Walker read.
[E]
[A]
[F] Then [Bb] John, he got up [F] from the table,
[Eb] slowly [Dm] he walked [F] outside.
[Cm]
[F] [Bb] He was thinking of his wife and [F] little children at home, and how [Eb] his drinking [F] had ruined [Bb] their lives.
Then John, he stared off into [F] that street light, [Eb] and a vision filled [Dm] his poor, poor heart [Cm] with dread.
For [F] [Eb] it was him,
[Dm] lying drunk there in [F] that gutter, [Eb] clutching in his hand the letter that Johnny [F] Walker read.
[Bb] And this is what it said,
Dear John, please Johnny, [F] please come home, I need your love and the kids, they gotta [Bb] be fed.
And John, if you don't hurry [F] back, I'll be gone.
Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that [Bb] Johnny Walker read.
[Gb] Dear John, please Johnny, please come home,
