[G] [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 at the bar walked up beside [E] him, this is what she said.
She [D] said, a woman came by [E] with a letter for you.
This is what the letter [A] said.
[E] [Gbm]
[Abm] [A] Dear John, please Johnny, please come [E] home.
I need your love and the kids, [Gbm] they [E] gotta [A] be fed.
And John, if you don't hurt me back, [E] I'll be gone.

[F] [Gm] [Am] [Bb] Then John, he got up from [F] the table.
[Eb] Slowly [Dm] he walked 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 [Dm] filled his poor, poor heart [Cm] with dread.
[F] [E] [Eb] For it was him [Dm] lying drunk there in [F] that gutter.
[E] Clutching in [Eb] his hand the letter [F] that Johnny Walker read.
[Bb] And this is what it said.
[F] [Gm] [Bb] 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 hurt me back, I'll be gone.
