      Em                               
When Johnny comes marching home again  
   G             
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
      Em                              
We'll give him a hearty welcome then  
    G      B7    
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
     G                      D               
The men will cheer and the boys will shout  
      Em             B7            
The ladies they will all turn out  
          Em   D    C   B7   
And we'll all feel gay when  
Em           B7       Em     
Johnny comes marching home.  
   
    Em                                  
The old church bell will peal with joy  
   G             
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
      Em                          
To welcome home our darling boy,  
    G      B7    
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
     G                       D    
The village lads and lassies say  
     Em              B7              
With roses they will strew the way,  
          Em   D    C   B7   
And we'll all feel gay when  
Em           B7       Em     
Johnny comes marching home.  
   
    Em                      
Get ready for the Jubilee,  
   G             
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
      Em                                
We'll give the hero three times three,  
    G      B7    
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
    G                      D    
The laurel wreath is ready now  
   Em                   B7    
To place upon his loyal brow  
          Em   D    C   B7   
And we'll all feel gay when  
Em           B7       Em     
Johnny comes marching home.  
   
    Em                                
Let love and friendship on that day,  
    G            
Hurrah, hurrah!  
      Em                                
Their choicest pleasures then display,  
    G      B7    
Hurrah, hurrah!  
    G                         D      
And let each one perform some part,  
   Em                   B7             
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,  
          Em   D    C   B7   
And we'll all feel gay when  
Em           B7       Em     
Johnny comes marching home.
