Johnnys Far Away

Dm
Johnny's joined a ceilidh band
Dm
They're known quite well throughout 
the land, The Drones
Dm
The Drones are signed up on a cruise
Dm
While Tracey's laying in the booze 
back home
  Bb
She's got herself another man, a 
smoothie
  Bb
While the kids are in the front room
 watching movies
     F
She's got him in a head lock, in an 
arm lock, in a jam
      Am
She says, I can't express myself 
with my old man

[Chorus]

       Dm           G        
While Johnny's far away on the 
    Bb
rolling, rolling
       Dm      G         Bb   C   Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
       Dm           G        
While Johnny's far away on the 
     Bb
rolling, rolling
       Dm      G          Bb  C   Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
        G                 Dm
On the rolling sea, On the rolling 
sea
         C                 Bb
On the rolling sea, On the rolling 
sea

[Verse 2]

Dm
Johnny's cruising out to sea
Dm
And he believes in chastity - for 
some
Dm
The wealthy widows bill and coo
Dm
He fends off one or two, and then 
succumbs
       Bb
As they're turning hard-a-port in 
the Bahamas
       Bb
He's turning her right out of her 
pyjamas
      F
He's turned her every which way to 
the rhythm of the sea
     Am
He says, I can't express myself with
 my old lady

[Chorus]

        Dm           G       
While Johnny's far away on the 
    Bb
rolling, rolling
    Dm        G          Bb  C    Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
      Dm            G        
While Johnny's far away on the 
    Bb
rolling, rolling
    Dm         G          Bb  C   Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
        G                   Dm
On the rolling sea, on the rolling 
sea
        C                    Bb
On the rolling sea, on the rolling 
sea

[Verse 3]

Dm
Johnny's home, he opens up his door
Dm
While someone's sneaking out the 
back
Dm
And Tracey says, you look so poorly
Dm
Sores and all, you need to see the 
quack
   Bb
She wipes the snot from off the 
kiddies' noses
   Bb
He charms her with eleven battered 
roses
      F
And by and by they get down to the 
job of man and wife
   Am
Back to the old comforts of the 
missionary life

[Chorus]

       Dm           G        
While Johnny's far away on the 
    Bb
rolling, rolling
     Dm       G           Bb C   Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
       Dm           G        
While Johnny's far away on the 
   Bb
rolling, rolling
  Dm                      Bb  C   Dm
Johnny's far away on the rolling sea
        G                   Dm
On the rolling sea, on the rolling 
sea
        C                   Bb
On the rolling sea, on the rolling 
sea
