Johnsons Motor Car Chords

[Verse 1]
     G                  D                  
Twas down by Brannigan´s Corner, one morning
      G
I did stray.
                          D
I met a fellow rebel, and to me he did say,
      G                           C       
"We´ve orders from the captain to assemble 
     G
at Dunbar,
                 D                     
But how are we to get there,  without a 
     G
motor car?"

[Verse 2]
    G                 D                    
"Oh Barney dear, be of good cheer, I´ll tell
               G
you what we´ll do.
                                    D
The specials they are plentiful, the IRA are
few,
      G                        C          
We´ll send a wire to Johnson to meet us at 
   G
Stranlar
                         D                
And we´ll give the boys a bloody good ride 
                  G
in Johnson´s Motor Car"

[Verse 3]
     G                  D                  
When Dr. Johnson heard the news he soon put 
      G
on his shoes
                         D
He says this is an urgent case, there is no 
time to lose,
      G                           C     
He then put on his castor hat and on his 
       G
breast a star
                 D                        
You could hear the din all through Glenfin 
  G
of Johnson´s Motor Car

[Verse 4]
     G                  D                  
But when he got to the railway bridge, some 
      G
rebels he saw there
                         D
Old Johnson knew the game was up, for at him
they did stare
      G                        C           
He said "I have a permit, to travel near and
 G
far."
                 D                        
"To hell with your English permit, we want 
  G
your motor car."

[Verse 5]
     G                  D                  
"What will my loyal brethren think, when he 
      G
hear the news,
                         D
My car has been commandeered, by the rebels 
at Dunluce."
      G                        C           
"We´ll give you a receipt for it, all signed
 G
by Captain Barr.
                 D                     
And when Ireland gets her freedom, boy, 
     G
you´ll get your motor car."

[Verse 6]
     G                  D                  
Well we put that car in motion and filled it
      G
to the brim,
                         D
With guns and bayonets shining which made 
old Johnson grim,
      G                        C           
And Barney hoisted a Sinn Fein flag, and it 
 G
fluttered like a star,
                 D                      
And we gave three cheers for the IRA and 
    G
Johnson´s Motor Car.
