[Verse 1]
It was [G]January,
nineteen-sixty-three
When When When [D]Johnny came
home with a gift for me
He said [G]I bought it for you
because I love you
And I [D]bought it for you 'cause
it's your birthday, too
He was [G]so very nice, he was so very kind
To [D]think of me at this point in [G]time
I used to think of him, he used [D]think of me
[Bm]He told me to close my eyes
My [A]gift would be a great surprise
[G]I saw tears were in his eyes
He [F#m]never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, [Bm]Johnny,
don't point that [Em]gun at me
There's so [F#m]many ways our
lives have changed
But [Bm]please, I beg, don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, don't point that [Em]gun at me
Can [F#m]I save my life at any price?
[Bm]For God's sake won't you [G]listen

[Interlude 1]
to me?

[Verse 2]
And though [G]he was ashamed
that he had took a life
[D]Johnny came home with another wife
And I [G]often remembered
how it used to be
Before that [D]special occasion,
nineteen-sixty-three
There There There was [G]too many
ways that you could kill someone
Like in [D]a love affair,
when the love has [G]gone
He used to think of her,
she used [D]to think of him
[Bm]He told me to close my eyes
My [A]gift would be a great surprise
[G]I saw tears were in his eyes
He [F#m]never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, [Bm]Johnny,
don't point that [Em]gun a[Esus4]t me[Em]
There's so [F#m]many ways our
lives have changed
But [Bm]please, I beg,
don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, you keep [Em]on using me
Can I [F#m]change my life for any price?
Oh, [Bm]Johnny,
won't you [G]listen to me?

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]He told me to close my eyes
My [A]gift would be a great surprise
[G]I saw hatred in his eyes
But he [F#m]never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, [Bm]Johnny,
don't point [Em]that gun at me
There's so [F#m]many ways our
lives have changed
But [Bm]please, I beg, don't [G]do this to me
[Bm]Johnny, you keep [Em]on using me
Can I [F#m]change my life for any price?
Oh, [Bm]Johnny, won't you [G]listen to me?

[Verse 4]
[Bm]I just want you to be mine
[Em]I don't want this world to shine
