SLOW BECAUSE OF THE RAPID CHORD CHANGES<\/span><\/p>\n

FROM THE CIVIL WAR<\/span><\/p>\n

And [Bm] now we\u2019re going off to fight, [F#m] hurroo hurroo.
\n<\/b><\/span>I\u2019ll [Bm] fight the war with all my might, [D] hurroo [F#7] hurro.
\n<\/b><\/span>A [D] gun in me hand, a [A] drop in me eye.
\n<\/b><\/span>A [Bm] doleful damsel [F#7] I heard cry.
\n<\/b><\/span>[Bm] I\u2019ll [A] be [G] back [F#7] soon.
\n<\/b><\/span>[Bm] Johnny I [F#7] hardly [Bm] knew ya<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[Bm] Where are the eyes that looked so mild, [F#m] hurroo hurroo
\n<\/b><\/span>[Bm] Where are the arms to hug your child, [D] hurroo [F#7] hurroo
\n<\/b><\/span>You [D] have’n’t an arm, you [A] have’n’t a leg, hurroo hurroo
\n<\/b><\/span>You’ll [Bm] have to be put-[F#7] out with the bowl to beg
\n<\/b><\/span>I’m [Bm] happy [A] for to [G] see ya [F#7] home,
\n<\/b><\/span>[Bm] Johnny I [F#7] hardly [Bm] knew ya<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
