Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Cm]When [G]Johnny comes
marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout
The ladies they will [D]all turn out
And we'll all [G]be gay
when Johnny comes marching [Cm]home
[G]With your [Cm]guns and drums and
[G]drums and guns
Hurrah! Hurrah!
With your [Cm]guns and drums
and [G]drums and guns
Hur[Eb]rah! Hurrah!
[Cm]With your guns and [Eb]drums
and [Bb]drums and guns
The [Cm]enemy nearly [G]slew ya
Darling [Bb]dear, you [D]look so [G]queer
Johnny, I [Cm]hardly knew ya
Oh [G]Johnny, I'm glad to see you home
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Oh Johnny, I'm glad to see you [D]home
Hurrah! Hurrah!
[G]Oh Johnny,
I'm glad to see you're home
Back from the island [D]of [G]Ceylon
So low in flesh, so high in bone
[B]Johnny, I hardly knew ya
With your [Bm]guns and drums
and [D]drums and guns
Hurrah, hurrah
With your [B]guns and drums and
[G]drums and guns
Hur[D]rah, hurrah
With your guns and drums and
[A]drums and guns
The [Bm]enemy nearly [D]slew ya
Darling, [A]dear, you [G]look so [D]queer
Johnny, I [Bm]hardly [B]knew ya
Where are those eyes that [G]used to [D]smile
Hurrah, hurrah
[G]Where are those [B]eyes that [G]used to smile
Hur[D]rah, hurrah
Where are those [G]eyes that used to smile
When my poor [D]heart
you first be[G]guiled
Why did you [D]run from me and the child
[B]Johnny, I hardly knew ya
With your [Bm]guns and drums
and [D]drums and guns
Hurrah
Hurrah, hurrah,
[G]with your [B]guns and drums
and [Bm]drums and [D]guns
Hurrah, hurrah,
with your guns and drums
and [A]drums and guns
The [G]enemy nearly slew [D]ya
Darling [A]dear, you [G]looked so [D]queer
[Bm]Johnny, I hardly [B]knew ya
Where are those [G]arms
that steered the plough?
Hurrah, hurrah,
where [B]are those [G]arms
that [Cm]steered the [D]plough?
Hurrah, hurrah,
[G]where [Eb]are those arms
that [Bb]steered the plough?
The [Cm]fields you [G]worked are barren now
Spect we'll all get by somehow
Johnny, I hardly knew [B]ya
With your [G]guns and drums and
drums and [D]guns
Hurrah, hurrah
With your [G]guns and drums
and [D]drums and guns
Hurrah, hurrah
With your [G]guns and [D]drums
and [Bb]drums and [D]guns
The [G]enemy nearly slew ya
Darling [A]dear, you [D]look so [G]queer
Johnny, I [Cm]hardly knew ya
[G]Where are those legs that [Cm]used to [G]run?
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Where [B]are those [G]legs that used to run?
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Where [Eb]are those [Bb]legs that used to run
when [Cm]first you went to
[G]follow the gun?
Indeed your dancing [Cm]days are [G]done,
[Cm]Johnny, I [G]hardly [Cm]knew ya!
With your guns and drums and
[G]drums and guns,
hurrah!
Hurrah!
With your guns and drums
and drums and guns
Hur[D]rah!
Hurrah!
[G]With your [Eb]guns and [G]drums
and [Bb]drums and guns
The [Cm]enemy nearly [G]sue ya
Darling [Bb]dear, you [G]look so queer
[Cm]Johnny, I hardly knew ya
You [G]hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Hurrah! Hurrah!
You [Cm]hadn't an arm, you [G]hadn't a leg
Hurrah! [D]Hurrah!
[Eb]You hadn't an arm,
you [Bb]hadn't an egg
You're [Cm]an eyeless, noseless,
[G]chickenless egg
You'll have to be put in a
[Cm]bowl to [Bb]beg[G]
[B]Johnny, I hardly [G]knew [B]the art[G][B]
With your [G]guns and drums and
drums and guns
[D]Hurrah, hurrah
[G]With your guns and drums and
drums and guns
Hur[D]rah, hurrah
[G]With your guns and [Bb]drums and
drums and guns,
the [Cm]enemy nearly [G]slew ya
Darling [Bb]dear, you look so [G]queer,
[Cm]Johnny, I hardly knew ya
When Johnny comes marching home again,
hurrah, hurrah
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
hurrah, hurrah
The men will cheer,
the boys will shout,
the ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all be gay when our day,
day, then,
Joanie comes marching home.
