Verse 1
Don't stop a moment to (C major)
thank, dear John
Our (Csus2) country calls, then (C major) go
Don't (Csus2) fear for (C major) me nor the children, John
I (Csus2) care for them, you know
Leave (G major) the corn upon (C major) the (Csus2) stalk,
the fruit upon the (C major) tree
And (Csus2) all our little stores, (C major) dear John,
yes, (Csus2) leave them all to me
Take your guns and (C major) go, dear (Csus2) John,
yes, take your guns and (C major) go
For (Csus2) Ruth can drive the (C major) ox,
dear John,
and I can (Csus2) use the hoe (C major) (Csus2)
The (G major) arm is short of (C major) blankets, John,
then (Csus2) take this heavy (C major) pair.
I (Csus2) spun and wove them (C major) when a girl
and (Csus2) worked them (C major) with great care.
A (Csus2) rose in every (C major) corner, John,
and (G major) here's my (Csus2) name, you (C major) see.
On the (Csus2) cold, cold ground,
they'll (C major) warmer feel
Because (Csus2) they're made by me
So (C major) take your guns and go, dear John
Yes, (Csus2) take your guns and (C major) go
For (Csus2) Ruth can drive the (C major) ox, dear John
And I can use the hoe (Csus2) (C major) (Csus2)
And John, if God has (C major) willed it (Csus2) so,
we never shall meet again
(C major) I'll (Csus2) do the best for the (C major) children,
John, in (Csus2) sorrow, or pain
On (C major) (Csus2) winter (G major) nights I'll (C major) teach them, John,
all (Csus2) that I learned at (C major) school,
to (Csus2) love our (C major) country,
keep our laws,
obey (Csus2) the Savior's rule.
(C major) So take your guns and go, dear (Csus2) John.
Yes, take your (C major) guns and go.
For (Csus2) Ruth can drive the (C major) ox, dear John,
and I can use the hoe. (Csus2) (C major) (Csus2)
And now good (C major) bye to you, dear John.
I (Csus2) cannot say farewell. (C major)
We'll (Csus2) hope and pray for the best,
dear John.
His goodness none can (C major) tell.
May his (Csus2) arms be around (C major) you, John,
to (Csus2) guard you (C major) night and day.
Be (Csus2) our beloved coun (C major) try shield
till war shall pass away
So take your guns and go, dear John,
take (Csus2) your guns and (C major) go
For Ruth can (Csus2) drive the (C major) ox,
dear John,
and I can use the (Csus2) hoe
(C major) Yes, I can (Csus2) use the hoe you
