Johny I hardly knew ya — Tommy Makem

Em                                                D
While on the road to sweet Athy, ha-roo, ha-roo,
Em                                                G
While on the road to sweet Athy, ha-roo, ha-roo,
Em                                           D
While  on the road to  sweet Athy,
C                                 B7
A stick in the hand, a drop in the eye,
 Em        D           C            B7
A doleful damsel I heard  cry.
Em           D      Em
Johnny, I hardly knew ya.

Chorus:
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Ha-roo, ha-roo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Ha- roo, ha-roo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy nearly slew ya, Me darling dear, you look so queer.
Johnny, I hardly knew ya.
Where are the eyes that looked so mild ha-roo, ha-roo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild ha-roo, ha-roo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did you run from me and the child, Johnny I hardly knew ya.

Chorus
Where are the legs with which you ran, ha-roo, ha-roo,
Where are the legs with which you ran, ha-roo, ha-roo,
Where are the legs with which you ran,
When first you went to carry a gun?
Indeed your dancing days are done.
Johnny, I hardly knew ya.
