Chorus:
FSay hey Johnny boy, the Cbattle call, &qFuot;United we stanGd, divided we fall"
FTogether we are what we Ccan't be alone
We Fcame to this country you Gmade it our home
Verse 1:
CThis man so humble, Gthis man so brave
A Clegend to many, he Gfought to his grave
Saved Cfamily and friends from the Ghardship and horror
In a Dland of depression he gave Ghope for tomorrow
CSay Johnny boy Gthis ones for you
With the Cstrength of many and the Gcourage of few
To Cwhat do we owe this Gman who's fight
Was for the Dmasses, he gave his Glife
Chorus x1
Verse 2:
A Cfriend to the locals who Gdabbled in crime
He'd Cgive you a job and he'd Ggive you his time
He Cwasn't a crook but he Gcouldn't be conned
DJohn knew the difference between Gright and wrong
CSay Johnny boy, you Glive hear no longer
COthers forgotten, your Gmemories stronger
CLet's drink to the causes Gin your life
Your Dfamily, your friends, the Gunion, your wife
Chorus (no guitar)
Chorus x1
Bridge:
And the Cboys on the docks needed GJohn for sure
When they Ccame to this country he Gopened the door
He said, &Cquot;Men I'll tell ya, Gthey don't like our kind"
Though it Dstarts with a fist it must Gend with your mind
Chorus
C,C,G,C
