Johnny Come Lately

by Steve Earle

from the album Copperhead Road



G                                           C

I'm an American, boys, and I've come a long way

      G                    D

I was born and bred in the USA

   Em                        C            G

So listen up close, I've got something to say

                      D

Boys, I'm buying this round

        G                                      C  

Well it took a little while, but we're in this fight

       G                           D

And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right

      Em                      C      G

We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight

                   D       G

If I have to spend my last pound



When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain

Met a little girl in the field canteen

Painted her name on the nose of my plane

Six more missions I'm gone



Well I asked if I could stay and she said that I might

Then the warden came around yelling "turn out the lights"

Death rainin' down in the London night

We made love 'til dawn

                  C                        G

(chorus) But when Johnny Come Lately comes marching home

                                  D

With a chest full of medals and a G.I. loan

           Em                        C     G

They'll be waitin' at the station in San Antone

                  D        G

When Johnny comes marching home



My P-47 is a pretty good ship

And she took a round comin' 'cross the channel last trip

I was thinkin' 'bout my baby and letting her rip

Always got me through so far



Well they can ship me all over this great big world

But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl

I'm taking her home with me one day, sir,

Soon as we win this war



(repeat chorus)



Now my granddaddy sang me this song

Told me about London when the blitz was on

How he married Grandma and brought her back home,

A hero throughout his land



Now I'm standin' on a runway in San Diego

A couple purple hearts and I move a little slow

There's nobody here, maybe nobody knows

About a place called Vietnam



(repeat chorus 2x)
