Am G
When Johnny comes marching home again hurrah tallah
Am Em
He's coming by bus or underground hurrah tallah
C G
A woman's eye will shed a tear
F C
To see his face so beaten in fear
Am G F Em Am
It's just around the corner in the English Civil War
Am G
Still at the stage of clubs and fists hurrah tallah
Am Em
When your well known face got beaten to bits hurrah tallah
C G
And your face was blue in the light of the screen
F C
We're watching the speech of an animals scream
Am G F Em Am
The new party army was marching over our heads
INSTRUMENTAL (Same Chords)
Am G
They are I told you so hurrah hurrah
Am Em
Says everybody that we know hurrah tallah
C G
But who hid the radio under the stairs
F C
And who got caught on it's unawares
Am G F Em Am
The new party army came marching out the stairs
Am G
When Johnny comes marching home again hurrah tallah
Am Em
Nobody understands this could happen again hurrah tallah
C G
The sun is shining and the kid's shouting loud
F C
You've got to know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
Am G F Em
The shadows keep on falling
Am
'Cause Johnny's marching home
INSTRUMENTAL (Same Chords)
C G F C
All the girls go oh oh oh oh
Am G F Em
Just get his coffin ready 'Cause
Am
Johnny's coming home
