You haven't an arm, you haven't a [Bm] leg, haroo, haroo.
[Em] You haven't an arm, you [G] haven't a leg, haroo, [B] haroo.
[Em] You haven't an arm, [D] you haven't a leg, [C] you're an [Bm] eyeless, boneless, [Em] chickenless egg.
[D] You'll have to [C] be left with [Bm] a boulder [Em] back, Johnny, I hardly knew you.
Where drums and guns and guns and [Bm] drums, haroo, haroo?
[Em] Where drums and guns and [G] guns and drums, haroo, haroo?

[Em] So [D] low in flesh, [C] so high [Bm] in bone, [Em] Johnny, I [D] [Em] hardly knew you.
Where drums and guns and guns and [Bm] drums, haroo, haroo?
[Em] Where drums and guns and guns and drums, [G]
haroo, haroo?
