When [Em]Johnny comes marching home again
[G]Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll [Em]give him a hearty welcome then
[G]Hurrah! [B7]Hurrah!
The [G]men will cheer and the [D]boys will shout

And we'll [Em]all [D]feel [C]gay [B7]when

Get [Em]ready for the Jubilee,
[G]Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll [Em]give the hero three times three,
[G]Hurrah! [B7]Hurrah!
The [G]laurel wreath is ready [D]now
To [Em]place upon his loyal [B7]brow
And we'll [Em]all [D]feel [C]gay [B7]when
[Em]Johnny comes [B7]marching [Em]home.
