Cruel War

        C          Am     F      
The cruel war is raging, Johnny 
      G
has to fight
    Am         F           G     
I want to be with him from

                  Am        F     
I want to be with him, it grieves 
         G
my heart so.
          Am          F
Won't you let me go with you?
G            C
No, my love, no.

              Am     F            
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the 
G
day
            Am           F        
That your captain will call you, 
    G        C
and you must obey.
