Salonika

	G	D
Oh me	husband's in Salonika and I	wonder if he's dead,

	G	D
And I wonder if he knows he has a	kid with a foxy	head,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

G	D
When the war is over what	will the slackers do,

	G	D
They'll be all around the soldiers for the	loan of a bob or	two,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
And	when the war is over what	will the soldiers do,

	G
They'll be walking around with a leg and a half, and the	slackers they'll

	D
have	two,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
And they	taxed the pound of butter and the	taxed the ha'penny bun,

	G	D
And still with all their taxin' they can't	bate the bloody	Huns,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
They	taxed the Colosseum and they	taxed St. Mary's Hall.

	G	D
Why don't they tax the Bobbies with their	backs again' the	wall

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

G	D
When the war is over what	will the slackers do,

	G	D
For every kid in America, in	Cork there will be	two,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
They	takes us out to blarney and they	lays us on the grass,

	G	D
They puts us in the family way and they	leaves us on our	arse,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
There's no	lino in the parlour and	in the kitchen too,

	G	D
And there's a lovely glass back chiffonier we	got from Dickie	Drew,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

	G	D
Oh,	never marry a soldier, a	sailor, or a marine,

	G	D
But keep your eye on that Sinn Fein boy with his	yellow, white and	green,

	G	D
So right a	way, so right away, so right a	way, so right away,

	D7	G
So right away Salonika, right a	way me soldier	boy.

So

G	D7	G
right away Salonika, right	away me soldier	boy.
