| D  | D  |
 
 
[Verse]

A           Amaj7                A     
 Hey, if I could I'd sit you down buy 
        Amaj7
you a drink and ask you how
D
 You got a cowboy ridin' to 

slow on down and walk the line and
A           Amaj7                 
 I'd wanna hear it from the start,
A          Amaj7
 how many times did 

he break your heart?
D
 From what I'm readin', 

why didn't you leave him
 
 
[Chorus]

         A                 Amaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 A7sus2                           D
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' 

off his shirt?
      D
What made you wanna make it work?
        A                 Amaj7       
Did you always know he'd come around, 
   A7sus2
change his ways and settle down?
           D
Did your friends call you crazy too?
      D                              
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, 
     A       Amaj7  A7sus2  D
why Johnny?
 
 
[Verse]

 A                 Amaj7            A     
Did you know deep down inside your bones 
         Amaj7
he'd be yours and yours alone? 
D
 Or were you just hoping? 

And how did you keep hoping?
    A               Amaj7       A     
I think I've got a Johnny of my own, 
              Amaj7
but will he change? Heck if I know
D
 Yes, I'm just hoping, but 

how do I keep hoping
 
 
[Chorus]

         A                 Amaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 A7sus2                           D
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin'

 off his shirt?
      D
What made you wanna make it work?
        A                 Amaj7        
Did you always know he'd come around, 
  A7sus2
change his ways and settle down?
           D
Did your friends call you crazy too?
      D                              
It'd sure help if I knew, hey June, 
     A      Amaj7  A7sus2  D
why Johnny?
 
 
[Bridge]

     A               Amaj7
Why Johnny? And how June
         A7sus2             
Did you make him realize it 
            D
was always you?
                    D
Did you ever wanna find somebody new?
 
 
[Chorus]

         A                 Amaj7
When he came home late on booze and pills
 A7sus2                           D
Lyin' through that perfume smell comin' 

off his shirt?
      D
What made you wanna make it work?
        A                 Amaj7       
Did you always know he'd come around, 
  A7sus2
change his ways and settle down? 
           D
Did your friends call you crazy too? 

Bet you could've had 

anyone you wanted to
                    A        Amaj7    A7sus2    D
So, hey, June, why Johnny?
 
 
[Outro]
                  A
Why Johnny? How, June?
