[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Well, I read in the papers and I see it on the television A D Everybody's worried about World War Three D Here I am, a single boy, unemployed and everything A D Somebody better stop and worry bout me
[Chorus]
A A Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out G A-hup two three four all day through? D Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other A D Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
[Interlude]
D A D Rumbumbaduba...
[Verse 2]
D Sometimes I get disheartened and try not to even think about it A D Heaven knows it's hard to keep from lettin' it get me down D But I'll stand proud when everybody else will be A D Runnin' helter-skelter for their shelter underground
[Chorus]
A A Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out G A-hup two three four all day through? D Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other A D Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
[Interlude]
D A D Rumbumbaduba...
[Verse 3]
D When I was a little boy, I used to sit and dream of travelin' A D To lotsa foreign countries on sight-seein' tours D The way it's lookin' now I can stop savin' money A D Maybe go free sponsored by a Third World War
[Chorus]
A A Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out G A-hup two three four all day through? D Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other A D Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q? A A Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out G A-hup two three four all day through? D Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other A D Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
