[Verse 1]
        D
Well, I read in the papers and I see it on the television
                          A         D
Everybody's worried about World War Three
D
Here I am, a single boy, unemployed and everything
                         A          D
Somebody better stop and worry bout me


[Chorus]
      A                          A
Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out
  G
A-hup two three four all day through?
D
Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other
                       A            D
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?

[Verse 2]
D
Sometimes I get disheartened and try not to even think about it
                                    A                 D
Heaven knows it's hard to keep from lettin' it get me down
D
But I'll stand proud when everybody else will be
                                 A            D
Runnin' helter-skelter for their shelter underground


[Chorus]
      A                          A
Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out
  G
A-hup two three four all day through?
D
Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other
                       A            D
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?

[Verse 3]
D
When I was a little boy, I used to sit and dream of travelin'
                              A            D
To lotsa foreign countries on sight-seein' tours
D
The way it's lookin' now I can stop savin' money
                             A           D
Maybe go free sponsored by a Third World War


[Chorus]
      A                          A
Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out
  G
A-hup two three four all day through?
D
Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other
                       A            D
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
      A                          A
Well, can't you just see me now, chin up and chest out
  G
A-hup two three four all day through?
D
Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin' other
                       A            D
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
