Eb 
   It was January, 1963 
           A# 
When Johnny came home with a gift for me 
               Eb 
He said I bought it for you because I love you 
          A# 
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too 
             Eb 
He was so very nice, he was so very kind 
 A#                                                    Eb 
To think of me at this point in time 
                                                A# 
I used to think of him, he used think of me 
C 
He told me to close my eyes 
     A# 
My gift would be a great surprise 
G# 
I saw tears were in his eyes 
G 
He never meant to hurt me 
                 C                                    F 
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me 
G                                           
There's so many ways our lives have changed 
   A#                                G# 
But please, I beg, don't do this to me 
C                                     F 
Johnny, don't point that gun at me 
G                                        
Can I save my life at any price? 
A#                                      G#                    (Intro) 
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
