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
