Intro: [Gmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Dmaj7] [Dmaj7] (x2) It was [Gmaj7] January, 1963 When [Dmaj7] Johnny came home with a gift for me He said 'I [Gmaj7] bought it for you because I love you And I [Dmaj7] bought it for you 'cos it's your birthday, too' He was [Gmaj7] so very nice, he was so very kind To [Dmaj7] think of me at this point in time [Gmaj7] I used to think of him, he used [Dmaj7] think of me

[Bm] He told me to close my eyes, My [Amaj7] gift would be a great surprise [G] I saw tears were in his eyes He [F#] 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 I [F#m] save my life at any price? For [Bm] God's sake won't you [G] listen to me? [Gmaj7] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Dmaj7]

And though [Gmaj7] he was ashamed that he had took a life [Dmaj7] Johnny came home with another wife And he [Gmaj7] often remembered how it used to be Before that [Dmaj7] special occasion, 1963 There’s [Gmaj7] too many ways that you could kill someone Like in a [Dmaj7] love affair, when the love has gone [Gmaj7] He used to think of her, she used to [Dmaj7] think of him

[Bm] He told me to close my eyes My [Amaj7] gift would be a great surprise [G] I saw tears were in his eyes He [F#] 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, you keep on [Em] using me Can I [F#m] change my life for any price? Oh, [Bm] Johnny, won't you [G] listen to me?
