[G][C][G]
[C][G]
[C][G]
[C]I'm [G]goin' [C]back to

[Verse 1]
sentimental Johnny
'Cause sentimental Johnny
[G]is your man
Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
The chairman of the [C]board[G]s[C]
[G]He said [C]Jesus, he walks on water
Not like us, he must have been [G]sober
Marching away, on top of his lake
The savior of all [C]souls

[Verse 2]
[F]Leave me to die in the [C]wreckage
As [F]soon as it burns, I'll be [G]gone
I'm goin' [C]back to sentimental
Johnny (what for?)
To [F]take in [G]all I [C]can (once more!)
To [F]take in [G]all I [C]can[G][C][G]
[C](once more!)
[G]Well, it was [C]back in

[Verse 3]
good old '57
When Johnny met Elvis in [G]Memphis
Rockin' on sun where it all begun
A story yet to en[C]d
And [G]by this [C]time,
we're drinkin' up a fever
And in me, he has a true be[G]liever
If only I could, just for one word
To live it all [C]again[G]

[Verse 4]
[F]Leave me to die in the [C]wreckage
As [F]soon as it burns, I'll be [G]gone
I'm goin' [C]back to sentimental
Johnny (what for?)
To [F]take in [G]all I [C]can (once more!)
To [F]take in [G]all I [C]can [F](once more!)

[Verse 5]
Rio, [F]why don't you meet me
down in [C]Rio again
Down in [F]Rio, the carnival it never [C]ends
Down in [F]Rio,
we'll find a perfect world in [C]Rio again
Down in [D]Rio, where the women still love their [G]men

Well, [Cm]Johnny,
it's two in [C]the mornin'
[Cm]Don't you think, it's [G]time we should go
Back to our millions of records we love
Back to our sad little [C]homes[G][Cm]
[Fm]That was the last [G]time I saw him
Never, no never no [Cm]more[G]
[Fm]I wonder did Jesus,
came [G]to redeem him
Save poor Johnny's old [Cm]soul[G][Cm]

[G]come to redeem him
Save poor Johnny's old [Cm]soul[G][Cm][G]
