The Clash's version of a traditional arrangement, this is the same pattern repeated 6 times, the solo is
a verse with no words, and the last verse looks odd but is the same as the others.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
     A                                    G
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, tralah
     A                                Em
He's coming by bus or underground, hurrah, tralah
  C                G              F               C
A woman's eye will shed a tear to see his face so beaten in fear
            A    G         F      E      A
And it was just around the corner in the English Civil War
[Verse 2]
       A                                         G
It was still at the stage of clubs and fists, hurrah, tralah
          A                                      Em
When that well known face got beaten to bits, hurrah, tralah
     C                    G                         F                        C
Your face was blue in the light of the screen as we watched the speech of an animal scream
    A   G     F E      A
The new party army was marching right over our heads
[Solo]
A G   A Em   C G F C   A G F E A
[Verse 3]
     A                          G
They are, ha, I told you so, tralah, hurrah
     A                          Em
Says everybody that we know, hurrah, tralah
    C               G                     F                  C
But who hid a radio under the stairs, and who got caught out unawares
A   G     F E       A
New party army came marching right up the stairs
[Verse 4]
     A                                    G
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, tralah
  A                                        Em
Nobody understands it can happen again, hurrah, tralah
    C                      G                              F                                 C
The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud but you gotta know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
    A       G       F  E         A
The shadows keep on falling when Johnny comes marching home
[Verse 5]
A        G
Alright, Johnny
A        Em
Oh yeah, Johnny
                 C            G   F   C
All the girls go oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
A       G      F     E   A
Get his coffin ready     Johnny's comin' home
