   D9                  G9
I'm sorry you couldn't make it
               D9                       G9
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
         E
        A
And I know that you would hate him
         D9                  G9
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
            D9                            G9
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
           E
        A
And I know that you would hate me
      D9                        G9
If I envied the things that he spoke of
      D9                        G9
How I envied the things that he thought of
          E
      A
And I know that you would hate me
      G
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
                            Bm
To find out how to make a garden grow
          Gm              D
Where the sun no longer shines
      Gm
If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind
                            D
To find out how to make a garden grow
         E                                                A
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
D9  G9
D9  G9
           D9                         G9
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
               D9                      G9
You could have been here, wishing you were here
             E
        A
And I know that you would hate me
           E
       A
And I know that you would hate me
      G
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
                           Bm
To find out how to make a garden grow
          Gm               A
Where the sun no longer shines
      G
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
                                   Bm
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
     Gm                D
And now the sun won't shine
             Gm
I must have asked too many questions
                                               D
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
         E                                                  A
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.

Versión 2 - Johnny Come Lately (Letra y acordes)
G                                           C 
I'm an American, boys, and I've come a long way 
      G                    D 
I was born and bred in the USA 
   Em                        C            G 
So listen up close, I've got something to say 
                      D 
Boys, I'm buying this round 
        G                                      C   
Well it took a little while, but we're in this fight 
       G                           D 
And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right 
      Em                      C      G 
We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight 
                   D       G 
If I have to spend my last pound 
 
When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain 
Met a little girl in the field canteen 
Painted her name on the nose of my plane 
Six more missions I'm gone 
 
Well I asked if I could stay and she said that I might 
Then the warden came around yelling "turn out the lights" 
Death rainin' down in the London night 
We made love 'til dawn 
                  C                        G 
(chorus) But when Johnny Come Lately comes marching home 
                                  D 
With a chest full of medals and a G.I. loan 
           Em                        C     G 
They'll be waitin' at the station in San Antone 
                  D        G 
When Johnny comes marching home 
 
My P-47 is a pretty good ship 
And she took a round comin' 'cross the channel last trip 
I was thinkin' 'bout my baby and letting her rip 
Always got me through so far 
 
Well they can ship me all over this great big world 
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl 
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir, 
Soon as we win this war 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Now my granddaddy sang me this song 
Told me about London when the blitz was on 
How he married Grandma and brought her back home, 
A hero throughout his land 
 
Now I'm standin' on a runway in San Diego 
A couple purple hearts and I move a little slow 
There's nobody here, maybe nobody knows 
About a place called Vietnam 
 
(repeat chorus 2x)
