[Verse 1]
Em Bm While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo Em G While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo G D While goin' the road to sweet Athy, Em Bm A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye, G D Em Bm A doleful damsel I heard cry, Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Chorus]
Em Bm With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo Em G With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo G D With your guns and drums and drums and guns, Em Bm The enemy nearly slew ya G D Em Bm Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo Em G Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo G D Where are the eyes that looked so mild, Em Bm When my poor heart you first beguiled G D Em Bm Why did ye skidaddle from me and the child Em Johnny, I hardly knew ya.
[Chorus]
Em Bm With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo Em G With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo G D With your guns and drums and drums and guns, Em Bm The enemy nearly slew ya G D Em Bm Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Verse 3]
Em Bm Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo Em G Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo G D Ye haven't an arm and ye haven't a leg, Em Bm Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg G D Em Bm Ye'll have to put with a bowl out to beg Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Chorus]
Em Bm With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo Em G With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo G D With your guns and drums and drums and guns, Em Bm The enemy nearly slew ya G D Em Bm Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Verse 3]
Em Bm I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo Em G I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo G D I'm happy for to see ye home, Em Bm All from the island of Saloam; G D Em Bm So low in flesh, so high in bone Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
[Chorus]
Em Bm With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo Em G With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo G D With your guns and drums and drums and guns, Em Bm The enemy nearly slew ya G D Em Bm Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer Em Johnny I hardly knew ya.
