Ab
It was January, 1963
Eb
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
Ab
He said I bought it for you because I love you
Eb
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too
Ab
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
Eb Ab
To think of me at this point in time
Eb
I used to think of him, he used think of me
Ab
He told me to close my eyes
Eb
My gift would be a great surprise
Ab
I saw tears were in his eyes
Eb
He never meant to hurt me
Ab Eb
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Ab
There's so many ways our lives have changed
Eb Ab
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Eb Ab
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Eb
Can I save my life at any price?
Ab Bb
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
