English Civil War Johnny Comes Marching Home

The Clash’s version of a traditional arrangement this is the same pattern repeated 6 times the solo is a verse with no words and the last verse looks odd but is the same as the others. [Intro] [Verse 1] When Johnny comes marching home again hurrah tralah He’s coming by bus or underground hurrah tralah 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 [Verse 2] It was still at the stage of clubs and fists hurrah tralah 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 The new party army was marching right over our heads [Solo]             [Verse 3] They are ha I told you so tralah hurrah Says everybody that we know hurrah tralah But who hid a radio under the stairs and who got caught out unawares New party army came marching right up the stairs [Verse 4] When Johnny comes marching home again hurrah tralah Nobody understands it can happen again hurrah tralah The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud but you gotta know it’s shining through a crack in the cloud The shadows keep on falling when Johnny comes marching home [Verse 5] Alright Johnny Oh yeah Johnny All the girls go oh-oh-oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh Get his coffin ready     Johnny’s comin’ home
