Who's this Steve [G] Earle song inspired guy singing?
Speedo.
[Gm]
[G]
I'm an American boy
Come a long way I was born and bred in the [D] USA
[Em] Listen up [C] close I could tell them [G] to say
Boys not [D] bad this round
[G] But it could go wild if we [C] end this [G] fight
Ain't going home till we've [D] done what's [Em] right
Don't you hand me down [G] dry tonight
If I [D] have to spend [G] my last pound
No choice but to love her to the [C] point I'm [G] afraid
Let a little girl on a [D] field [Em] catch me
Painted her [C] name on the [G] nose of my blade
Since my old [D] mist I'm gone
[G] But I have to if I can stay [C] sad about [G] a night
Before I come around and shut [D] down the [Em] light
Can't bring it [C] down in the [G] blood of night
And make love to a boy
[C] Johnny go [G] let him come to marching home
His chest full of [D] medals and his feet all [Em] alone
Waiting for this [C] issue that's [G] inside my throat
Johnny come to marching home Oh man
[C] [G]
[D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[G] You know he said that's a [C] pretty good [G] ship
Look around come and touch the [D] channel last [Em] trip
If you love my [C] baby you [G] let her rip
[D] I would love me three so far
[G] But they can tip me all over this [C] great big [G] world
Never find nothing like my [D] love and [Em] girl
Take you [C] home if you [G] one day serve
[D] To the degree [G] we end this war
[C] [G] Johnny go let him come to marching home
His chest full of [D] medals and his [A] feet all alone
Waiting [Bm] for this [C] issue that's [G] inside my throat
Johnny come to marching home Oh man
My [C] [G]
[D] [Em] [C] [G]
[D] [G] [C] [G]
[D] [E] [Bm] [C] [G] [D]
[G] granddaddy sang me this song
Told me about love and where the blitz was on
[Em] Now he's my grandma and he brought her [G] back home
He rode throughout [D] this land
[G] Now I'm standing on his ram we're in San Diego
Couple of purple hearts I'll move [Em] a little slow
[C] Nobody here maybe [G] nobody knows
About a place called Vietnam
[C] Oh Johnny girl let [G] him come to marching home
His chest full of medals and his feet [D] all alone
[Em] Waiting for this issue [C] that's [G] inside his throat
Johnny come to marching home
[C] I say Johnny girl let him [G] come to marching home
His chest full of medals [D] and his feet all alone
[Em] Waiting for this issue [C] that's inside [G] his throat
Johnny [D] come to marching [G] home
