      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
Johnny comes marching home. 

The old church bell will peal with joy 
Hurrah! Hurrah! 
To welcome home our darling boy, 
Hurrah! Hurrah! 
The village lads and lassies say 
With roses they will strew the way, 
And we'll all feel gay when
Johnny comes marching home. 

Get ready for the Jubilee, 
Hurrah! Hurrah! 
We'll give the hero three times three, 
Hurrah! Hurrah! 
The laurel wreath is ready now 
To place upon his loyal brow 
And we'll all feel gay when
Johnny comes marching home. 

Let love and friendship on that day, 
Hurrah, hurrah! 
Their choicest pleasures then display, 
Hurrah, hurrah! 
And let each one perform some part, 
To fill with joy the warrior's heart, 
And we'll all feel gay when
Johnny comes marching home.

Em:          G:           D:           C:           B7:
