Johnny McGory    (Listen to sample)

 

  C                                               G                        C

Hey, Johnny McGory, tell me where's your glory gone !

    F                                                    C          G

I saw you up in the Monto with your old leg gone.

     C                                         F                    Am     ~

A dirty Flanders bullet, sure it left you half a man.

  C                                                     G          C

Hey, Johnny McGory, where's your old leg gone ?

 

     G                                  Am

1. Up the Sally Gardens, around the back of the pipes,

       G                                            Am

    messing with the liberty bells a man could lose his stripes.

       C                                            F                       C

    Trading on your troubles and grabbing every chance,

                                                             G                                C

    to show the randy old ones all the things you learned in France.

 

+ CHORUS

 

     G                                                  Am

2. Up in Gloucester Diamonds, Red Biddy on your mind,

              G                                         Am

    not a tosser in your pocket, not a soul you could remind.

            C                                                  F                   C

    The lord knows you're a darling, you never did give in,

                                                                         G                       C

    your neck's as hard as concrete, and your laugh's a mortal sin.

 

       G                                Am

3. Monday in the Iveagh, Tuesday in the tracks,

        G                                                Am

    Wednesday's walking wounded, Thursday's soldier bags.

       C                                                   F                        C

    Friday's heroes on the touch, and Saturday's lost again,

                                                                       G                      C

but with Sunday's good intentions,sure we start the week again.

 

+ CHORUS
