Victory Square Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

BMy name is wailin' EmJohnny

CWay, Ghey, JDohny BorGeen

 At corCdova and carrall

 Was fFormed in the marrow

 Of wEmhiskey and amphetaBmines

BThey call me wailin' JEmohnny

CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BorGeen

 A Cmile from the shore

 By these hEmeroes of yours

 I'll be tChere

 Hands in the Bair

Victory square in all its glory

Way, hey, Johnny Boreen

The pubs and the junkers

The skids and the punkers

Have always been good to me

But the citizens deplore me

Way, hey, Johnny Boreen

So cruel and fickle

without a nickel to spare

Hands in the air

Victory square

My brothers and my sisters

Way, hay, Johnny Boreen

This world will defame them

And money will claim them

And cast them straight out to sea

Say a prayer for wailin' Johnny

Way, hey, Johnny Boreen

At cambie and hastings

I shall be wasting a prayer

Hands in the air

Victory square
