When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Patrick Gilmore (1863)

Em G
When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
Em G B7
We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah! Hurrah!
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, Hurrah! Hurrah!
Em G B7
To welcome home our darling boy, Hurrah! Hurrah!
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, Hurrah! Hurrah!
Em G B7
We'll give the hero three times three, Hurrah! Hurrah!
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.
