[Intro] CG x3 DG
[Chorus] FCFG Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call, "United we stand, divided we fall" FC Together we are what we can't be alone FG We came to this country you made it our home
[Verse 1] CG This man so humble, this man so brave CG A legend to many, he fought to his grave CG Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror DG In a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow CG Say Johnny boy this ones for you CG With the strength of many and the courage of few CG To what do we owe this man who's fight DG Was for the masses, he gave his life
[Chorus] FCFG Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call, "United we stand, divided we fall" FC Together we are what we can't be alone FG We came to this country you made it our home
[Verse 2] CG A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime CG He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time CG He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned DG John knew the difference between right and wrong CG Say Johnny boy, you live hear no longer CG Others forgotten, your memories stronger CG Let's drink to the causes in your life DG Your family, your friends, the union, your wife
[Chorus]x2 FCFG Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call, "United we stand, divided we fall" FC Together we are what we can't be alone FG We came to this country you made it our home
[Bridge] CG And the boys on the docks needed John for sure CG When they came to this country he opened the door CG He said, "Men I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind" DG Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind
