Leave Her Johnny Leave Her

D                         G      
Oh, I thought I heard the old man
   D
 say,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
      G          D        G      
It's a long hard pull to the next
    D
 payday,
         D               A    D
and It's time for us to leave her.


[Chorus]
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
    G                  D
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
        G         D            G 
For the voyage is done and the 
          Bm
winds don't blow,
         D              A     D
and it's time for us to leave her.

D                         G      
Now the winds were foul and the 
   D
work was hard,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
      G          D        G  
From the Liverpool docks to the 
        D
London yard,
         D               A    D
and It's time for us to leave her.


[Chorus]
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
Continues after the ad
    G                  D
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
        G         D            G 
For the voyage is done and the 
          Bm
winds don't blow,
         D              A     D
and it's time for us to leave her.

D                         G      
Now the skipper was bad but the 
   D
mate was worse,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
      G          D        G      
He would cut you down with a 
    D
swipe and a curse,
         D               A    D
and it's time for us to leave her.


[Chorus]
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
    G                  D
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
        G         D            G 
For the voyage is done and the 
          Bm
winds don't blow,
         D              A     D
and it's time for us to leave her.

D                         G      
Now it was rotten meat and moldy 
   D
bread,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
      G          D        G      
You would eat it or you would 
    D
starve to death,
         D               A    D
And it's time for us to leave her.


[Chorus]
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
    G                  D
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
        G         D            G 
For the voyage is done and the 
          Bm
winds don't blow,
         D              A     D
and it's time for us to leave her.

D                         
Now it's time for us to say 
G         D
farewell,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
      G          D        G      
For now those pumps are all 
    D
pumped dry,
         D               A    D
And it's time for us to leave her.


[Chorus]
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
    G                  D
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her.
        G         D            G 
For the voyage is done and the 
          Bm
winds don't blow,
         D              A     D
and it's time for us to leave her.
