[G]

[Verse 1]
[F]Say hey Johnny boy,
the [C]battle call.
[F]United we stand, di[G]vided we fall.
To[F]gether we are what
we [C]can't be alone,
We [F]came to this country,
you [G]made it our home.

[Verse 2]
[C]This man so humble, [G]this man so brave.
A [C]legend to many,
he [G]fought to his grave.
Saved [C]family and friends from
the [G]hardship and horror,
in a [D]land of depression he
gave [G]hope for tomorrow.

[Verse 3]
[C]Say Johnny me boy, [G]this ones for you.
With [C]the strength of many
and the [G]courage of few.
To [C]what do we owe this [G]man who's fight
was for the [D]masses, he gave his [G]life.

[Verse 4]
[F]Say hey Johnny boy, the [C]battle call
[F]United we stand, di[G]vided we fall.
To[F]gether we are what
we [C]can't be alone,
We [F]came to this country,
you [G]made it our home.

[Verse 5]
A [C]friend to the locals who
[G]dabbled in crime.
He'd [C]give you a job and
he'd [G]give you his time.
He [C]wasn't a crook,
but he [G]couldn't be conned.
[D]John knew the difference
between [G]right and wrong.

[Verse 6]
[C]Say Johnny me boy, [G]you live no longer,
[C]Others forgotten,
your [G]memory's stronger.
[C]Lets drink to the causes [G]in your life:
Your [D]family, your friends,
the [G]union, your wife.

[Verse 7]
[G]Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country,
you made it [C]our [F]home.

[Verse 8]
Say hey Johnny boy, the [C]battle call.
[F]United we stand, di[G]vided we fall.
To[F]gether we are what
we [C]can't be alone.
We [F]came to this country,
you [G]made it our home.

[Verse 9]
And the [C]boys on the docks
needed [G]John for sure.
When they [C]came to this country
he [G]opened the door.
He said [C]"Man I'll tell ya,
they [G]don't like our kind.
Though [D]it starts with a fist it
must [G]end with your mind."

[Verse 10]
[F]Say hey Johnny [C]boy, the battle call.
[F]United we stand, di[G]vided we fall.
To[F]gether we are what
we [C]can't be alone.
We [F]came to this country you
[G]made it our home.
