When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, tralah
     A                                Em
He's coming by bus or underground, hurrah, tralah
  C                G              F               C
A woman's eye will shed a tear to see his face so beaten in fear

And it was just around the corner in the English Civil War

          A                                      Em
When that well known face got beaten to bits, hurrah, tralah

Your face was blue in the light of the screen as we watched the speech of an animal scream
    A   G     F E      A
The new party army was marching right over our heads
