Chorus:

C                      G
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
C                   G
United we stand, divided we fall
C                        G
Together we are what we can't be alone
C                            D
We came to this country you made it our home


Verse 1:

C                    G
This man's so humble, this man's so brave
C                     G
A legend to many, he fought to his grave
C                                  G
Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror
C                               D
In a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow
C                  G
Say Johnny me boy, this one's for you
C                                  G
With the strength of many and the courage of a few
C                      G
To what do we owe this man who's fight
C                      D
Was for the masses he gave his life


Chorus:  (Same as above) 

C                      G
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
C                G
United we stand, divided we fall
C                        G
Together we are what we can't be alone
C                            D
We came to this country you made it our home


Verse 2:  (Same as other verse)

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time
He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned
John knew the difference between right and wrong
Say Johnny me boy, you live no longer
Other's forgotten, your memories stronger
Let's drink to the causes in your life
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife

Chorus:  It's played x2, the first time with no guitar, the second time with guitar

C                      G
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
C                G
United we stand, divided we fall
C                        G
Together we are what we can't be alone
C                            D
We came to this country you made it our home

Verse 3:  (Same as other verse: sung by a different person)

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure
When they came to this country he opened the door
He said men I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind


(Play the chorus one more time)

C                      G
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
C                G
United we stand, divided we fall
C                        G
Together we are what we can't be alone
C                            D
We came to this country you made it our home

Hang onto the word home and make one downword stroke on each chord

Ending:  C  C  G  C
