Verse 2:
It was [A]still at the stage of clubs and fists, Ha[G]rah! Tra[G]lah!
When that [A]well-known face got beaten to bits, Ha[Em]rah! Tra[Em]lah!
Your [C]face was blue in the [G]light of the screen
As we [F]watched the speech of an [C]animal scream
The [A]new [G]party [F]ar[E]my was [A]marching right over our heads

Lead 1 x1
There you are, ha ha, I told you so, Harah! Tralah!
Lead 2 x1
Says everybody that we know, Harah! Tralah!
But [C]who hid a radio [G]under the stairs,
An' [F]who got caught out on their [C]unawares?
When that [A]new [G]party [F]ar[E]my came [A]marching right up the stairs

Verse 3:
When [A]Johnny comes marching home again, Ha[G]rah! Tra[G]lah!
No[A]body understands it can happen again, Ha[Em]rah! Tra[Em]lah!
The [C]sun is shining an' the [G]kids are shouting loud,
But you [F]gotta know it's shining through a [C]crack in the cloud,
And the [A]shadows [G]keep [F]fall[E]ing when [A]Johnny comes marching home...

figure it out themselves, email me)
