Boys On The Docks Chords & Lyrics - Dropkick Murphy's

[INTRO]
[C] , [G] , [C] , [G] , [C] , [G] , [D] , [G]

[CHORUS]
[F]Say hey Johnny Boy the [C]battle call
[F]United we stand, [G]divided we fall
[F]Together we are what we [C]can't be alone
We [F]came to this country, you [G]made it our home

[VERSE 1]
[C]This man so humble, [G]this man so brave
A [C]legend to many, he [G]fought to his grave
Saved [C]family and friends from the [G]hardship and horror
In a [D]land of depression he gave [G]hope for tomorrow

[VERSE 2]
Say Johnny me Boy, this one's for you
The strength of many and a courage of a few
To what do we owe this man who's fight
Was for the masses he gave his life

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
Friend to the local who dabbled in crime
He'd give you a job, he'd give you his time
He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned
John knew the difference between right and wrong

[VERSE 4]
Say Johnny me Boy, you live no longer
Others forgotten your memories stronger
Let's drink to the causes in your life
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife

Chorus: ... (twice)

[VERSE 5]
And the boys on the docks needed John for sure
When they came to this country, he opened the door
He said Man I'll tell you they don't like our kind
Though it starts with your fist, it must end with your mind

[CHORUS]
