Ok, I saw someone else posted chords for this song, and it sounded way off. So
here is my version, which i think is a little better. For the begining part if
you want to hammer on your middle and index finger while playing the Am it sounds
kinda like they play it. Well Enjoy! - PapaZ1243
Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya
Dropkick Murphy's
While on the road to sweet Athy, Haroo, Haroo
While on the road to sweet Athy, Huroo, Huroo
While on the road to sweet Athy
A Stick in my Hand, a tear in my eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did ya run from me and the child
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus:]
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
(No Lyrics------------)
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Where are the legs with which you run, Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run, Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run,
When first you went to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg, Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg, Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
You're a spinless, boneless, chickenless egg
You'll Have to put with the bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
I'm happy for to see ya home, Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home, Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home
From the isle of Ceylon
(no lyrics------)
Johnny I hardly knew ya
[Chorus]
