[Verse 1]
And so once [D]again
My dear Johnny, my dear friend
And [Dm]so once again [D]you are fighting us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and [Dm]cry,
[D]and I fall
My friend, how did you [G]come
To trade the fiddle for the [D]drum?

[Verse 2]
You say I have turned [D]Like
the enemies you've [Dm]earned[D]
[Dm]But I can remember all the
[D]good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the [Dm]peace [D]and the star?
My friend, what time is this
[G]To trade the handshake for the
[D]fist?
