Pogo Johnny kicked me in the head, Aimin' for the floorboards but they picked me up instead
                                                    D                     E
Through the ringing of the night before, Said, "The engines running gotta pay a call"

Johnny drove the halftrack 'cause we could not find the jeep, Wake me in the morning gotta get some sleep
                                      D                 E
Driving all night out of fear, Got it in the ribs every time he changed gear

   Pogo Johnny gonna fight the war, Chaplain in the morning at the local liquor store
                                        D                               E

   Lying on the wasteground with a blanket on his face, Indicating that he's left the human race
                                              D                     E
