Verse 1:

      C majorC
I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny
                 G+G
Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man

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

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

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

Chorus: (Gtr. 1 plays notes while Gtr. 2 plays chords)

 FF            C majorC
Leave me to die in the wreckage
  FF            G+G
As soon as it burns I'll be gone
      C majorC
I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
  FF   G+G   C majorC
To take in all I can (what for?)
  FF   G+G   C majorC
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 augmentedA 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:

 FF                 C majorC
Rio, why don't ya meet me down in Rio... again
     FF             C majorC
Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends
     FF                 C majorC
Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio... again
     D MajorD                   G+G
Down in Rio, where the women still 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
