Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya

      Em                             Bm
When goin' the road to sweet athy, hurroo, hurroo
      Em                             Bm
When goin' the road to sweet athy, hurroo, hurroo
      Em                 D
When goin' the road to sweet athy
   G                     Bm
A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
     Bm     A     G      F#m
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Em
Johnny I hardly knew ye

            Em                                Bm
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
            Em                                Bm
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
            Em               D
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
     G            Bm
The enemy nearly slew ye
   Bm       A       G       F#m
Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
Em
Johnny I hardly knew ye

Em                                         Bm
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Em                                         Bm
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Em                       D
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
      G                 Bm
When my poor heart you first beguiled
    Bm     A        G          F#m
Why did ye run from me and the child
   Em
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

      Em                                 Bm
Where are the legs we looked you run, hurroo, hurroo
      Em                                 Bm
Where are the legs we looked you run, hurroo, hurroo
      Em                D
Where are the legs that looked you run
    G                 Bm
But first you went to carry a gun
   Bm       A       G        F#m
Indeed your dancing days are done
   Em
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

   Em                                    Bm
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
   Em                                    Bm
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
   Em                 D
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg
         G                  Bm
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
       Bm         A           G           F#m
You'll have to be left with a bowl out to beg
   Em
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

    Em                            Bm
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
    Em                            Bm
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
    Em           D
I'm happy for to see ye home
    G                      Bm
All from the island of sulloon
   Bm     A         G       F#m
So low in flesh, so high in bone
   Em
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye
