Cruel war

• C

    C            Am      Dm            G 
The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight. 
  C          Am        G  Am        C 
I want to be with him, morning 'til night. 
  C          Am           Dm               G 
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so. 
          C         Am 
Won't you let me go with you? 
G   Am       C 
No, my love, no. 
 
  C         Am      Dm            G 
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day 
          C            Am            G   Am    C 
That your captain will call you, and you must obey. 
     C            Am           Dm               G 
Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so. 
          C         Am 
Won't you let me go with you? 
G   Am       C 
No, my love, no. 
 
     C           Am          Dm                G 
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on. 
     C            Am          G  Am     C 
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along. 
     C            Am          Dm            G 
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know. 
 
           C         Am 
Won't you let me go with you? 
G   Am       C 
No, my love, no. 
 
   C          Am        Dm             G 
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind. 
  C            Am          G   Am    C 
I love you far better than all of mankind. 
  C            Am          Dm               G 
I love you far better than words can 'ere express. 
          C         Am 
Won't you let me go with you? 
G    Am       C 
Yes, my love, yes.
