The Letter That Johnny Walker Read
Recorded by Alseep At The Wheel
Written by Ray Benson, Leroy Preston, Chris Frayne

G
Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar
D7
Minding his own affairs
C D7
Drinking his namesake over the rocks

He was drunk too drunk to care

G
When a girl from the bar walked up beside him
D7
And this is what she said
C D7
She said a woman came by with a letter for you
G
And this is what the letter said

D7
Dear John please Johnny please come home
G
I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed
D7
And John if you don't hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said
G
The letter that Johnny Walker read

D7
Then John he got up from the table
C D7
Slowly so slowly he walked outside
G D7
He was thinking of his wife and little children back at home
C D7 G
And how his drinking had ruined their lives

D7
Then John he stared off into that street light
C D7
In a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread
G D7
For you see folks it was him lying drunk in the gutter
C D7 G
Clutching in his hand the letter that Johnny Walker read

And this is what it said

Repeat #3 x2

D7
Yes that's what the letter said
G
The letter that Johnny Walker read
D7
Yes that's what the letter said
G
The letter that Johnny Walker read
