Johnnys Gone To The War chords by Country Joe And The Fish

Guitar chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
E                    D
Johnny's gone in the mornin' sun
E                G       B
Johnny's gone to carry a gun
E                  D
Off he goes in the break of dawn
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war



[Verse 2]
E             D
See my Johnny standin' in the line
E            G         B
Don't his uniform look fine?
E                     D
Children laughin' and girls all sighin'
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war

[Verse 3]
E                           D
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
E                 G      B
See the young men march away
E                   D
Mothers weepin' and fathers prayin'
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war



[Verse 4]
E                   D
Out of the land the young men poured
E                      G       B
It's flesh to feed the guns of war
E              D
Johnny isn't a boy anymore
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war



[Verse 5]
E                          D
Out on the field where the young men fell
E                             G       B
In the scream of shot and the roar of shell
E                    D
Men plunged down the throat of... heaven
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war



[Verse 6]
E                       D
After the battle in the mud and rain
E                       G          B
The air is red with the screams of pain
E                           D
His eyes will never see the light again
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war



[Verse 7]
E                              D
There's a mail train a-rollin' down the track
E                 G        B
Carryin' a letter edged in black
E                       D
And it says that Johnny won't be back
E        D               E
Johnny's gone to the war...
