Johnny, He tells me stories, about the battle of Waterloo
C F C F
And he said that by the end, he couldn't tell who's foe or friend
C F G C
So awful was the fighting on that day
C F Am G
Johnny, noone believes him, when he tells stories of Waterloo
C F C F
And he walks with a limp, where a bullet pierced him
C F G C
On the left side of his knee
[Instrumental short]
C F C F G C x2
[Chorus]
C F Am G
Johnny, he once was a young man with hopes and desires of what he might be

but the saddest thing is, he never wanted to enlist.
C F G C
he was pressganged on the shores of this country
C F Am G
Johnny, he sailed a long way to fight the armies of Bonepart
C F C F
And allthough he survived, he often wished that he had died
C F G C
So awful were the things that he did see
[Instrumental long]

[Chorus]
C F G C
So awful were the things that he did see
