Sentimental Johnny

Top o' the mornin to ye!  This is a 
marvelously energetic song by a 
marvelously
energetic band, so if your hand 
isn't worn out by the end of the 
song you're not
strumming fast enough.  Like all my 
other F.M. tabs, there are some 
parts here
(like the accordion solo) that 
really shouldn't be played on 
guitar, so blessed
is he who has an accordion, fiddle, 
or tin whistle player in his band.  
Enjoy!

Verse 1:

           C
                                  G

Sunshine or rain, the man’s on his 
game
                     C
The chairman of the boards

He says Jesus, he walks on water
                                G
Not like us, he must have been sober

Marching away on top of his lake
                   C
The savior of all souls

 F                       C
Leave me to die in the wreckage
    F                        G
As soon as it burns I’ll be gone
Continúa después del anuncio
Eliminar anuncios
           C
    F      G      C
To take in all I can (what for?)
    F      G      C
To take in all I can (ONCE MORE!!!)


(Repeat intro)


Verse 2:

Well it was back in good ole '57
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
Rockin’ on sun, where it all begun
A story yet to end

And by this time we’re drinkin’ up a
 fever
And in me, he has a true believer
If only I could, just for one word
To live it all again

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

 F                               
Rio, why don’t ya meet me down in 
  C
Rio...  again
         F                         
Down in Rio, the carnival it never 
C
ends
         F                       
Down in Rio, we’ll find a perfect 
           C
world in Rio...  again
         D                         
Down in Rio, where the women still 
            G
love their men

Verse 3:

Well Johnny, it’s two in the mornin’
Don’t you think it’s time we should 
go?
Back to our millions of records we 
love
Back to our sad little homes

That was the last that I saw him
Never, no never no more
I wonder if Jesus came to redeem him
Save poor Johnny’s ole soul

I wonder if Jesus came to redeem him
Save poor Johnny’s ole soul
