F                       C              F                 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 our home

This man so humble, this man so brave

To what do we owe this man who's fight

Was for the masses, he gave his life

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure 

          C                       G
When they came to this country he opened the door 

          C                      G
He said, "Men I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind"

Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind
