G
My mate Johnny is a looker
                           G7
His habit is a one night stand
C
He used to walk the streets in the usual way
D                 D7
Oh what a pretty man
G
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
G                          C
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
G
Cos he's Holy
                   C
What he wanted the most
         D                 G
Now he's left with Holy Ghost

Am                               D           G
I prayed for Johnny, but now Johnny prays for me x2

[Verse 2]
G
My mate Johnny is a preacher
                 G7
As Holy as they come
C
He says "Follow the Lord and the Lord'll be good"
       D                        D7
And he even started calling me son

[Bridge 2]
G                             C
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
