    		    A
    They call him Sweet, Sweet Johnny, oh,
    D		   E		A
    Sweeter than the month of May

    And if Johnny, he's in town there ain't no way
    D			E		A
    The girls would go to school that day
    F#m				B
    See him and that girl dancing cheek to cheek
    	D			E
    Oh I wish it was me, 'cos they look so sweet
    				   A
    And they never come round no more
    	E		     D
    Since Hollywood opened the door

    A		G  A	A	    G   A
    Sweet, Sweet Johnny, heil, heil, Heather X4

    The next verse is done in a status quo style, i.e
    The A chord played barred with middle and 4th finger playing the a, and d
    strings on the 7th fret and the little finger hammering on and off on the
    9th fret on the a string

    E----5----5-----5------5
    B----5----5-----5------5
    G----5----5-----5------5
    D----7----7-----7------7
    A--- 7----7-----9------7
    E----5----5-----5------5

    Oh, heil, heil, Heather, oh
    Salute her when she walks down the street
    And if Heather happens to be on the beach
    You know the boys won't be too far out of reach.
    Why don't I get my Daddy's car
    And knock those fuckers down 'cos they've gone too far
    And they never come round no more
    Since Hollywood opened the door

    A		G  A	A	    G   A
    Sweet, Sweet Johnny, heil, heil, Heather X4      	then keep playing the
    chorus chords 								          leading into jazz-style cacaphony

    A	D	E
    I feel so alone tonight, and there's
    A		D	E
    No-one on the telephone
    A			D	E 		A
    You come over, yes that'll be right, and I said
    			D	E		A
    What a way to spend a Saturday night, and I went
    		D  E   A (etc)
    Do doot do do, do do do do X4
