Start Jamming...
[Cm]
I had just turned 16 that season when you came up from Burma to stay
And you told me I ought to travel with you, you were sure it would be okay
When I [Bb] asked how you earned [Eb] your living, I can still hear what you said to [F] me
You had some kind of job [Eb] on the railroad and had nothing to do with the [F] sea
[Fm] You said [Bbm] a lot, Johnny, all one big [Fm] lie, Johnny
You cheated me [Bbm] blind, Johnny, from the minute we [Fm] met
I hate you [C] so, Johnny, [Fm] when you stand there [Bbm] grinning, Johnny
[Ebm] Take that damn [Abm] pipe out of [Ebm] your [Eb] mouth, you [Abm] rat
Surabaya Johnny, no [Ab] one's [Abm] meaner than you
[Ab]
[G] Surabaya Johnny, my God, [Cm] and I still love you so
[Ebm] Surabaya Johnny, why my [Ab] feelings so blue?
[D] You have [Eb] no heart, Johnny, and [Bb] I [Ebm] still love you [Cm] so
At the start, every day was Sunday, till we went on our way one fine night
And before two more weeks were over, you thought nothing I did was right
[Eb] So we trekked up and down through the Punjab, from the source of the river to the [F] sea
When I looked my face [Eb] in the mirror, there's an old woman staring back at [Ab] me
[Eb] You [Bbm] didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted [Fm] cash, Johnny
[F] But I saw your lips, Johnny, [Eb] [Bbm] and that [Fm] was that
[F] You wanted it [C] all, Johnny, [F] I gave you [Bb] more, [Bbm] Johnny
[Ebm] Take that damn [Abm] pipe [Gb] out of your mouth, [Ebm] you [Abm] rat
Surabaya Johnny, [Ab] no one's [Abm] meaner than you
[Ab] [G]
Surabaya Johnny, my God, [Cm] and I still love you so
[Eb] [Ebm]
Surabaya Johnny, why [D] my [Bm] feelings so blue?
You have [Eb] no heart, Johnny, and [Ebm] I still love you [C] so
[Cm]
I would never have thought of asking how you got that peculiar name
But from one end of the coast to the other, you were known everywhere we came
[Eb] And one day in a two-bit flop house, I'll wake up to the roar of the sea
And you'll leave without one word of warning, on a ship waiting down at [Ab] the quay
[Eb] You have [Bbm] no heart, Johnny, you're just [Fm] a louse, Johnny
[F] How could [Bbm] you go, Johnny, and leave [Fm] me flat?
You're still my [C] love, Johnny, like [Abm] the day [Bbm] we met, Johnny
[Db] Take [C] that [Abm] damn [Ebm] pipe out [Abm] of your [Ebm] mouth, you [Abm] rat
Surabaya
[Ab] Johnny, no [Abm] one's meaner [Ab] than you
[Abm]
[Ab] [G]
Surabaya Johnny, my God, and [Cm] I still love you so
[Ebm] Surabaya Johnny, why [D] my [Bm] feelings so blue?
You have [Bb] no heart, Johnny, [Eb]
and I [Bb] still [Ebm]
love you [Eb]
so
