Guitar: Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye (Including lyrics and chords)

Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye is a popular Irish traditional anti-war and anti-recruiting song. It is generally dated to the early 19th century, when Irish troops served the British East India Company. The original refers to the soldiers from Athy, County Kildare that fought in "Sulloon" (Ceylon - now Sri Lanka) for the East India Company. I first heard it sung by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and it made a lasting impression on me.
