Top o' the mornin to ye! This is a marvelously energetic song by a marvelously
energetic band, so if your hand isn't worn out by the end of the song you're not
strumming fast enough. Like all my other F.M. tabs, there are some parts here
(like the accordion solo) that really shouldn't be played on guitar, so blessed
is he who has an accordion, fiddle, or tin whistle player in his band. Enjoy!

Verse 1:
I'm goin' bCack to Sentimental Johnny
Cause Sentimental Johnny is your mGan
Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game
The chairman of the bCoards
He says Jesus, he walks on water
Not like us, he must have been sGober
Marching away on top of his lake
The savior of all sCouls
Chorus: (Gtr. 1 plays notes while Gtr. 2 plays chords)

(Repeat intro)
Verse 2:
Well it was back in good ole '57
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
Rockin' on sun, where it all begun
A story yet to end
And by this time we're drinkin' up a fever
And in me, he has a true believer
If only I could, just for one word
To live it all again
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
RFio, why don't ya meet me down in RCio... again
Down in RFio, the carnival it never Cends
Down in RFio, we'll find a perfect world in RCio... again
Down in RDio, where the women still love their mGen
(Repeat intro)

Verse 3:
Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin'
Don't you think it's time we should go'
Back to our millions of records we love
Back to our sad little homes
That was the last that I saw him
Never, no never no more
I wonder if Jesus came to redeem him
Save poor Johnny's ole soul
I wonder if Jesus came to redeem him
Save poor Johnny's ole soul
