The crue[C]l war is ra[Am]ging, J[F]ohnny has to [G]fight

Won't you [Am]let me go wi[F]th you?
[G]No, my love, [C]no.

[VERSE]
Tomorrow is Su[Am]nday, M[F]onday is the [G]day
That your ca[Am]ptain will ca[F]ll you, and y[G]ou must o[C]bey.
Your captain will [Am]call you, it g[F]rieves my heart [G]so.
Won't you [Am]let me go w[F]ith you?
[G]No, my love, [C]no.

I'll tie back my h[Am]air, men's c[F]lothing I'll put [G]on.

Won't you [Am]let me go w[F]ith you?
[G]No, my love, [C]no.

Johnny, oh J[Am]ohnny, I f[F]ear you are u[G]nkind.

Won't you [Am]let me go w[F]ith you?
[G]Yes, my love, [C]Yes.
