Surabaya Johnny Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Esus4]I had just turned 16 that season,
when you came up from Burma to stay.
[Em]And you told me I ought
to travel [Edim]with you.
You were sure it would be [Esus4]okay.
When I [D]asked how you earned your living,
I can still hear what you
said to [Dsus4]me.
You had some sort of job with [D#dim]the railway,
[D]an d had nothing [D#dim]to
do [D]with [Dsus4]the sea.
You said [Am]a lot, Johnny,
all one big [Em]lie, Johnny.
You cheated me [Am]blind, Johnny,
from the minute [Em]we met.
I hate [B]you so, Johnny,
when you [Em]stand there [Am]pinning, Johnny.
Take [Gm]that damn pipe out of your
[D]mouth, you [Gm]rat.
Surabaya, Johnny.
No one's meaner than you.
[F#]Surabaya, Johnny.
My [Bbdim]God, and [Edim]I still [Bm]love you so.
Surabaya, [Dm]Johnny,
why [D]do I [Gdim]feel so blue?
[Bbm]You have no [D]heart, Johnny,
and I still [Dm]love [D]you [Bm]so.[Esus4]
At the start, every day was Sunday,
till we went on our way one fine [Em]night.
And before two more weeks were [E]over,
[Edim]you thought nothing I
did was [Em]right.[Esus4]
So we [D]trekked up and down
through the Punjab,
from the source of the river to [Dsus4]the sea.
When I look at my face in [D]the mirror,
there's an old woman
staring back at me.
[Dsus4]You didn'[D]t want long,[Am]
[D]Johnny.
You wanted [Em]cash, Johnny.
But I saw your [Am]lips, Johnny,
[D]an d that was [Em]that.
You wanted it [B]all, [Gaug]Johnny.
I [Em]gave you more, [Am]Johnny.
[Dm]Take that [Gm]dam n pipe o[C]ut of your
[D]mouth, you rat![Gm]
Surabaya, Johnny.
No one's meaner than you.
Sura[F#]baya
Johnny, my [Edim]God, an[Bm]d I still love you so.
Sura[Dm]baya
[Bdim]Johnny, why am [Gdim]I feeling [Bbm]so blue?
You have no [D]heart, Johnny,
and I still [Dm]love you [Esus4]so.[Bm][Esus4]
Though your name should have
told me different,
I had hoped we would soon settle [Em]down.
But in every saloon on the
coast[Edim]line,
they would cheer when you
came [Esus4]to town.
And one [D]day in a two -bed -full -up house,
I'll wake up to the roar of [Dsus4]the sea,
And you leave without one word of warning
[D]On a ship waiting down at the quay
[Dsus4]You have [D]no heart[Am], Johnny
You're [D]just [Em]a louse, Johnny
How can you [Am]go, and leave me f[Em]lat?
You're still my [B]love,
[Gaug]Like the[Em] day we me[Am]t, Johnny
[Dm]Take [Gm]that damn pipe out of your [Dm]mouth,
[Gm]you rat
Sura[Gm]baya, Johnny,
[G]no one's [Gm]meaner than you.
[G]Surabay[F#]a, Johnny, my [A]God,
[Bm]and I still love you so.
Surabaya, [G]Johnny,
why am I feeling [D#]so blue?
You have [D]no heart, Johnny,
and I still love you so.
[Bm][D]
