Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When Johnny comes
Marching home [Gm]again[G][F]
He's [G]coming by bus [Gm]or underground
[G]A w[Dm]o man[Bb]'s eye will shed a [F]tear
To [Eb]see his face so b[Bb]eaten in fear
An' it was [G]just [F]around the [Eb]corner
[Dm]in t[D]he E[G]nglish civil war

[Verse 2]
It was [G]still at the stage of
clubs and [F]fists
When that [G]well- known face
got beaten to bits
[D]Your [Dm]face [Bb]was blue in the
[F]light of the screen
As we [Eb]watched the speech of
an [Bb]animal [Gm]scream
[G]The new [F]party arm[Eb]y was[Dm]
[G]marching right over our heads

[Interlude 1]
Alright
[G][F][G][Dm][Bb]
[F][Eb][Bb][Gm]
[F][Eb][Dm][G]

[Verse 3]
There you are, [G]ha ha, I told [F]you so
[G]Says everybody that we [D]know
[Dm]But [Bb]who hid a radio u[F]nder the stairs
An' [Eb]who got caught out
[Bb]on their unawares?
When that [G]new [F]party [Eb]army [Dm]came
[G]marching right up the stairs

[Verse 4]
When [G]johnny comes marching
[Gm]home [F]again
[G]Nobody understands it can
happen [Dm]again
The [Bb]sun is shining an' the
[F]kids are shouting loud
But [Eb]you gotta know it's shining
through a [Bb]crack in the cloud
And [G]the shadows [F]keep [Eb]falli[Dm]ng w[D]hen John[G]ny comes
[F]march[G][Dm]
[Bb]ing[F][Eb][Bb][G][F][Eb][Dm][G]
[G]home
