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...
