The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight
  C           Am           G    C     G
I want to be with him from morning to night
                  Em      Am               Bm
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so

G   C        G
No, my love, no

[Verse 2]
G           Em      Am            Bm
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
     C            Am        G       C        G
That your captain will call you and you must obey
                  Em        Am                  Bm
Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so
          C              Am
Won't you let me go with you?
G   C        G
No, my love, no

[Verse 3]
G                Em          Am                Bm
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on
  C          Am            G     C     G
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along
                  Em       Am               Bm
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know
          C              Am
Won't you let me go with you?
G   C        G
No, my love, no

[Verse 4]
G             Em        Am           Bm
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
  C            Am     G        C     G
I love you far better than all of mankind
               Em          Am             Bm
I love you far better than words can e'er express
          C              Am
Won't you let me go with you?
G    C        G
Yes, my love, yes

[Verse 5]
G                 Em          Am             Em
They marched into battle, she never left his side
C             Am           G       C        G
Till a bullet shell struck her and love was denied
               Em          Am                     Bm
A bullet shell struck her, tears came to Johnny's eyes
                 C           Am
As he knelt down beside her, she silently died
