A                          Am            G
WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME AGAIN HURRAH TRA-LA
     A                Am             Em
HE'S COMING BY BUS OR UNDERGROUND HURRAH TRA-LA
  C                G 
A WOMAN'S EYE WILL SHED A TEAR
   F               C
TO SEE HIS FACE SO BEATEN IN FEAR
           A     G         F      E      A
AN' IT WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER IN THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR


IT WAS STILL AT THE STAGE OF CLUBS AND FISTS 
WHEN THAT WELL-KNOWN FACE GOT BEATEN TO BITS 
YOUR FACE WAS BLUE IN THE LIGHT OF THE SCREEN 
AS WE WATCHED THE SPEECH OF AN ANIMAL SCREAM 
THE NEW PARTY ARMY WAS MARCHING RIGHT OVER OUR HEADS

ALRIGHT

THERE YOU ARE, HA HA, I TOLD YOU SO
SAYS EVERYBODY THAT WE KNOW
BUT WHO HID A RADIO UNDER THE STAIRS
AN' WHO GOT CAUGHT OUT ON THEIR UNAWARES?
WHEN THAT NEW PARTY ARMY CAME MARCHING RIGHT UP THE STAIRS

WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME AGAIN 
NOBODY UNDERSTANDS IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN
THE SUN IS SHINING AN' THE KIDS ARE SHOUTING LOUD 
BUT YOU GOTTA KNOW IT?S SHINING THROUGH A CRACK	IN THE CLOUD
AND THE SHADOWS KEEP FALLING WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME
