[Verse 1]
Don't stop a moment [C]to
thank, dear John
Our [Csus2]country calls, then g[C]o
Don't [Csus2]fear for me n[C]or the children, John
I [Csus2]care for them, you know
[G]Leave the corn [C]upon the [Csus2]stalk,
the fruit upon the [C]tree
And [Csus2]all our little store[C]s, dear John,
yes, [Csus2]leave them all to me
Take your guns and [C]go, dear [Csus2]John,
yes, take your guns and [C]go
For [Csus2]Ruth can drive the ox,[C]
dear John,
and I can [Csus2]use the hoe[C][Csus2]
The [G]arm is short of [C]blankets, John,
then [Csus2]take this heavy pair[C].
I [Csus2]spun and wove them when[C] a girl
and [Csus2]worked them wi[C]th great care.
A [Csus2]rose in every corn[C]er, John,
and [G]here's my [Csus2]name, you see[C].
On the [Csus2]cold, cold ground,
they'll [C]warmer feel
Because [Csus2]they're made by me
[C]So take your guns and go, dear John
Yes, [Csus2]take your guns and go[C]
For [Csus2]Ruth can drive the ox, [C]dear John
And I can use the [Csus2]hoe[C][Csus2]
And John, if God has [C]willed it [Csus2]so,
we never shall meet again
[C]I'll do [Csus2]the best for the children,[C]
John, in [Csus2]sorrow, or pain
[C]On [Csus2]winter ni[G]ghts I'll te[C]ach them, John,
all [Csus2]that I learned at scho[C]ol,
to [Csus2]love our coun[C]try,
keep our laws,
obey [Csus2]the Savior's rule.
[C]So take your guns and go, dear [Csus2]John.
Yes, take your [C]guns and go.
For [Csus2]Ruth can drive the ox, [C]dear John,
and I can use the [Csus2]hoe.[C][Csus2]
And now good[C]bye to you, dear John.
I [Csus2]cannot say fa[C]rewell.
We'll [Csus2]hope and pray for the best,
dear John.
His goodness none can [C]tell.
May his [Csus2]arms be arou[C]nd you, John,
to [Csus2]guard you nig[C]ht and day.
[Csus2]Be our beloved country sh[C]ield
till war shall pass away
So take your guns and go, dear John,
[Csus2]take your guns and go[C]
For Ruth can [Csus2]drive the ox,[C]
dear John,
and I can use the [Csus2]hoe
[C]Yes, I can [Csus2]use the hoe you
