[Intro]
C Cmaj7 C7sus2 F F
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Hey, if I could I'd sit you down buy you a drink and ask you how
F
You got a cowboy ridin' to slow on down and walk the line and
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I'd wanna hear it from the start, how many times did he break your heart?
F
From what I'm readin', why didn't you leave him
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
C7sus2 F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
F
What made you wanna make it work?
C Cmaj7 C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
F
Did your friends call you crazy too?
F C Cmaj7 C7sus2 F
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Did you know deep down inside your bones he'd be yours and yours alone?
F
Or were you just hoping? And how did you keep hoping?
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I think I've got a Johnny of my own, but will he change? Hell if I know
F
Yes, I'm just hoping, but how do I keep hoping
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
C7sus2 F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
F
What made you wanna make it work?
C Cmaj7 C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
F
Did your friends call you crazy too?
F C Cmaj7 C7sus2 F
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7
Why Johnny? And how June
C7sus2 F
Did you make him realize it was always you?
F
Did you ever wanna find somebody new?
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
C7sus2 F
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
F
What made you wanna make it work?
C Cmaj7 C7sus2
Did you always know he'd come around, change his ways and settle down?
F
Did your friends call you crazy too? Bet you could've had anyone you wanted to
C Cmaj7 C7sus2 F
So, hey, June, why Johnny?
[Outro]
C
Why Johnny? How, June?
Hey, if I could I'd sit you down
Buy you a drink and ask you how
You got a cowboy ridin'
To slow on down and walk the line and
I'd wanna hear it from the start
How many times did he break your heart?
From what I'm readin'
Why didn't you leave him
When he came home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?
Did you know deep down inside your bones
He'd be yours and yours alone?
Or were you just hoping
And how did you keep hoping?
I think I've got a Johnny of my own
But will he change? Hell if I know
Yes, I'm just hopin'
But how do I keep hopin'
When he comes home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, why Johnny?
Why Johnny and how June
Did you make him realize it was always you?
Did you ever wanna find somebody new
When he came home late on booze and pills
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' off his shirt?
What made you wanna make it work?
Did you always know he'd come around
Change his ways and settle down?
Did your friends call you crazy too?
Bet you could've had anyone you wanted to
So, hey, June, why Johnny?
Why Johnny? How, June?
