While goin' the road to sweet Athy

Hurroo hurroo
      Dm
While goin' the road to sweet Athy
   F
Hurroo hurroo
F                 C    
Goin' the road to sweet Athy
  Dm                  Am
A stick in me hand, a drop in me eye
  F       C      Dm      Am
A doleful damsel I heard cry
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

          Dm
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
          Dm
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
  F
Hurroo hurroo
     F                  C    
With guns and drums and drums and guns
    Dm           Am
The enemy nearly slew ye
   F       C         Dm      Am
My darling dear, you look so queer
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

      Dm
Where are your eyes that were so mild?
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
      Dm
Where are your eyes that were so mild?
    F
Hurroo hurroo
F                        C    
Where are your eyes that were so mild
Dm                Am
When my heart you so beguiled?
    F       C        Dm         Am
Why did you run from me and the child?
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

      Dm
Where are your legs that used to run?
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
      Dm
Where are your legs that used to run?
   F
Hurroo hurroo
F                        C    
Where are your legs that used to run
Dm                   Am
When you went for to carry the gun?
  F          C       Dm       Am
Indeed, your dancing days are done
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

    Dm
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
    Dm
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
   F
Hurroo hurroo
F                       C    
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg
Dm                           Am
You're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
       F       C     Dm          Am
You'll have to put a bowl out to beg
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

    Dm
I'm happy for to see you home
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
    Dm
I'm happy for to see you home
   F
Hurroo hurroo
F                C    
I'm happy for to see you home
Dm                  Am
All from the island of Ceylon
   F      C         Dm      Am
So low in flesh, so high in bone
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

          Dm
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
   Am
Hurroo hurroo
          Dm
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
   F
Hurroo hurroo
     F                  C    
With guns and drums and drums and guns
    Dm           Am
The enemy nearly slew ye
   F       C         Dm      Am
My darling dear, you look so queer
                 Dm
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
