For a lower and easier version transpose +5 and put capo on 5.
[Verse 1]
While goin the road to sweet Athy, hurroo hurroo
While goin the road to sweet Athy, hurroo hurroo
While goin the road to sweet Athy
A stick in me hand a drop in me eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Verse 2]
Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo hurroo
Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo hurroo
Where are your eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did ya skedaddle from me and the child?
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Verse 3]
Ye haven t an arm, ye haven t a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven t an arm, ye haven t a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven t an arm, ye haven t a leg
Ye re an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
Ye ll have to be put with a bowl to beg
Oh, Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Oh, my darling dear, ya look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
