My mate Johnny is a looker

His habit is a one night stand

He used to walk the streets in the usual way
D D7
Oh what a pretty man

My mate Johnny is a lover
G7
Fell for the girl next door
C D D7
She said "Johnny I can't be with you,you're pretty but you're also a bore"
[Bridge 1]
G C
Finding love is not so easy
Am D
Cos people thought that he was too peculiar

So what was left for poor old Johnny
Am G D
At least he found out that Jesus loves ya
[Chorus]
G C
Holy, well he once was a whore
D G
And he's a priest now twenty four

What he wanted the most

Now he's left with Holy Ghost
Am D G
I prayed for Johnny, but now Johnny prays for me x2

My mate Johnny is a preacher

As Holy as they come

And he even started calling me son

But God was good for poor old Johnny
Am D
He lived his life behind the walls of religion
G C
But what was left was not so funny
Am D
Cos I lost my friend to this new found position
[Chorus]
G C
Now he's holy, Well he once was a whore
Am D G
and he's a priest now twenty four
G C
What he wanted most
D G
Now he's left with the Holy Ghost
Am D G
I prayed for Johnny and now Johnny prays for me x3
