When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Patrick Gilmore (1863)
| Em | G |
When | Johnny comes marching home again, Hur | rah! Hurrah! |
| Em | G | B7 |
We'll | give him a hearty welcome then, Hur | rah! Hur | rah! |
| Em | Am |
The | men will cheer and the | boys will shout, |
| Em | B7 |
the | ladies they will | all turn out, |
| Em | D | Em |
And | we'll all | feel | gay, |
| B7 | Em | B7 | Em |
| when | Johnny comes | marching | home. |
| Em | G |
The | old church bell will peal with joy, Hur | rah! Hurrah! |
| Em | G | B7 |
To | welcome home our darling boy, Hur | rah! Hur | rah! |
| Em | Am |
The | village lads and | lassies say, |
| Em | B7 |
with | roses they will | strew the way, |
| Em | D | Em |
And | we'll all | feel | gay, |
| B7 | Em | B7 | Em |
| when | Johnny comes | marching | home. |
| Em | G |
Get | ready for the Jubilee, Hur | rah! Hurrah! |
| Em | G | B7 |
We'll | give the hero three times three, Hur | rah! Hur | rah! |
| Em | Am |
The | laurel wreath is | ready now, |
| Em | B7 |
to | place upon his | loyal brow, |
| Em | D | Em |
And | we'll all | feel | gay, |
| B7 | Em | B7 | Em |
| when | Johnny comes | marching | home. |
