Johnny Come Lately Chords by Steve Earle

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm an American, boys, come a long way I was born and bred in the USA
Listen up close, I got something to say
Boys, I'm buying [D] this ram
[G] Well, it took a little while, but we're in this fight
Ain't going home till we're doing what's [Em] right
Gonna drink Camden down [G] dry tonight
If I have [D] to spend [G] my last pound
When I first got to London, it was pouring down rain
Met a little girl in a field [Em] canteen
Painted her name on the [G] mills of my plane
Six more [D] missions, I'm gone
[G] Well, I asked if I could stay and she said that I might
Then a warden came around and he [D] shut out the [Em] lights
Death's waiting out of the [G] London lights
We made love, dear, but how?
[C] Well, with Johnnie Cullen, [G] lady, cuz marching on
Chest full of [D] medals and a G-I-L-L
[Em] Baby waiting at the [C] station down at [G] St.
Edmund's
And Johnnie Cullen's marching on

_ My Pete 47 is a [C] pretty good [G] ship
She took a ride coming across the [D] Channel [Em] Estrip
She's thinking about my [C] baby and [G] letting her rip
How has God met [D] you so far?
[G] Well, they can ship me all over this great big world
Never found nothing like my Northland girl
Taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war
Well, with Johnnie Cullen, lady, cuz marching on
Chest full [D] of medals and a G-I-L [G]-L
Baby waiting at the station down at St.
Edmund's
And Johnnie Cullen's marching on Johnnie!

_ Now my granddaddy [C] sang me this [G] song
Told me about London when the blitz was [Em] on
How he married [C] Grandma and [G] brought her back home
A hero [D] throughout this land
[G] Now I'm standing on a runway in [C] San [G] Diego
A couple purple hearts that will [D] move a little [Em] slow
She's nobody's she, name that [G] nobody knows
Down a place called Vietnam
Well, [C] with Johnnie Cullen, [G] lady, cuz marching on
Chest full of medals and [D] a G-I-L [G]-L
Baby waiting at the station down at St.
Edmund's
And Johnnie Cullen's marching on
[C] Now with Johnnie Cullen, [G] lady, cuz marching on
Chest full of [D] medals and a G-I-L [Em]-L
Baby waiting at the station down at [G] St.
