Victory Square Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

BMy name is wailin' Em Johnny

CWay, Ghey, JDohny BorG een

At corC dova and carrall

Was fF ormed in the marrow

Of wEmhiskey and amphetaB mines

BThey call me wailin' JEm ohnny

CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BorG een

A C mile from the shore

By these hEm eroes of yours

I'll be tC here

Hands in the B air

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
