G  
Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar
D7  
Minding his own affairs
C                                                                              D7  
Drinking his namesake over the rocks
He was drunk too drunk to care
                  G  
When a girl from the bar walked up beside him
          D7  
And this is what she said
                             C                                                    D7  
She said a woman came by with a letter for you
                                                                          G  
And this is what the letter said
                                                                                                D7  
Dear John please Johnny please come home
                                                                                                                     G  
I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed
                                                                                                             D7  
And John if you don't hurry back I'll be gone
Yes that's what the letter said
                                                                                G  
The letter that Johnny Walker read
                                                                             D7  
Then John he got up from the table
C                                                                    D7  
Slowly so slowly he walked outside
                  G                                                                                 D7  
He was thinking of his wife and little children back at home
          C                                                    D7                            G  
And how his drinking had ruined their lives
                                                                                          D7  
Then John he stared off into that street light
             C                                                                                                    D7  
In a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread
                                G                                                                                            D7  
For you see folks it was him lying drunk in the gutter
C                                                                 D7                                                              G  
Clutching in his hand the letter that Johnny Walker read
And this is what it said
D7  
Yes that's what the letter said
                                                                                G  
The letter that Johnny Walker read
D7  
Yes that's what the letter said
                                                                                G  
The letter that Johnny Walker read
