Verse:
           C
I’m goin’ back to Sentimental Johnny
                                  G
Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man

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

Chorus:
 F                       C
Leave me to die in the wreckage
    F                        G
As soon as it burns I’ll be gone
           C
I’m goin’ back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)
    F      G      C
To take in all I can (what for?)
    F      G      C
To take in all I can (ONCE MORE!!!)

Verse:

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

Chorus.

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

Verse:
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

Chorus.
