[D]
I would not be in Richmond, sweet on the hail and rain,
It ought to be in Georgetown, where the
Rockets of the war, rockets of the war, rockets of the war,
Had me open wide, I went [F#m] double-diggin' on all the rebel trains,
To say they think they had us, and we're
[F#m]
[D]
not Hey!
[C#m]
[D] [A] [D]
Oh, Johnny, my dear Johnny, what makes you treat me so
Good, when the ballroom trains are in my hand?
What makes a rocket trumpet more,
Loud and simple, or [A] loud and [D] frightful?
If she calls on me, and we can see each other so,
Why can't we look at each other, and [F#m] say,
Oh, it's a rocket, it's a rocket, it's a rocket,
[F#m] It's a rocket, it's a [D] rocket, it's a rocket,
I'm gonna build [G#] a step-up on the balcony side,
So I can see [C#] those three girls [G] as they go right by,
Rockets of the war, rockets of [D] the war, rockets of the war,
Oh, hey!
