[Gm]
[G] All old Musket and Cannon [F] have torn his great coat
Don't he look fine and handsome, [Gm] don't he look at his moat
Forty-five in the foxholes, [F] and of this I will boast
[D] Don't they look fine and handsome, [Gm] my poor Johnny Boys Bones
[D]
[Bb] Well, who will bring back [F] my Johnny Boys Bones
To [D] lay me the trees [Gm] of his Tennessee [A] home
A [Bb] box, a box, [F] made of sturdy white oak
[D] With his arms folded up [Gm] and his blue eyes all closed
[F]
[Gm]
Well, he died first country and [F] he died first king
And he died killing men, [Gm] a most honorable sin
But them mean boys in blue, [F] they done turned him in
[D] When they laid him low, [Gm] it was a life and a grin
[Bb] Oh, who will bring back [F] my Johnny Boys Bones
[D] To lay me the trees [Gm] of our Tennessee home
A [Bb] box, a box, [F] made of sturdy white oak
