(ver. 1)
Flogging Molly
[Intro]
C   G    C   G   C N.C.
 
[Verse 1]
          C
I'm going back to sentimental Johnny
                                  G
'Cause sentimental Johnny is your man
G
Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
                    C
The chairman of the boards
 
[Verse 2]
C
He said Jesus, he walks on water
                               G
Not like us, he must have been sober
G
Marching away, on top of his lake
                  C
The savior of all souls
 
[Chorus]
F                      C
Leave me to die in the wreckage
   F                        G
As soon as it burns I'll be gone
          C
I'm going back to sentimental Johnny
             F       G     C
What for? To take in all I can
             F       G     C
What for? To take in all I can
N.C.
Once more!

[Verse 3]
             C
Well, it was back in good old '57
                         G
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
G
Rocking on Sun, where it all begun
               C
A story yet to end
 
[Verse 4]
C
And by this time we're drinking up a fever
                        G
And in me he has a true believer
G
If only I could, just for one word
                C
To live it all again
 
[Chorus]
F                      C
Leave me to die in the wreckage
   F                        G
As soon as it burns I'll be gone
          C
I'm going back to sentimental Johnny
             F       G     C
What for? To take in all I can
             F       G     C
What for? To take in all I can
 
[Bridge]
F                                  C
Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio again?
        F                          C
Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends
        F                                  C
Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio again
        D                                     G
Down in Rio, where the women still love their men

Well, Johnny, it's two in the morning

Don't you think it's time we should go?
