Verse 1
(A minor) Well, John Henry, (E minor) where'd you go? (A minor)
I wonder every time (F major) it (C major) snows
See the (E minor) hammer and the body
in (A minor) the evening light
Skin (F major) of (C major) brown under a (F major) bed of white (C major)
The cracked (E minor) mountains of those (A minor) cold,
cruel mines
An elegy (F major) under the (C major) steam drill's whine
And if you (E minor) listen right, it's (A minor) suppertime
At (F major) sunset, (C major) you can (F major) hear it (C major) chime
That ringin' sound (G major) like sil (A minor) ver
That (E minor) ringin' sound like (G major) gold
That (F major) ringin' sound like (C major) angel (G major) choirs (C major)
That nev (D minor) er grow (F major) old (G major)
His mother hardly (E minor) speaks (A minor)
Her rocking chair (F major) just (C major) creaks
And I will sit here in the (E minor) darkness
when the (A minor) sun falls down
Eat (F major) supper cold (C major) and listen (F major) for that (C major) sound
That ringing sound (A minor) like silver
That (E minor) ringing sound like (G major) gold
That (F major) ringing sound like (C major) angel (G major) choirs (C major)
That nev (D minor) er grow (F major) old (G major)
That was (E minor) one hell of a year (A minor)
So I'll make my (F major) prayer clear (C major)
Let the (E minor) hammer crack the (A minor) suffering tree
And (F major) crack the sky (C major)
So everyone (F major) can see
(C major) That John Henry sing (G major) s like sil (A minor) ver,
John (E minor) Henry shines like (G major) gold
John (F major) Henry's like (C major) the angel (G major) choirs (C major)
that nev (D minor) er grow (F major) old (G major)
And his mother shines like sil (A minor) ver,
his (E minor) mother sings like (G major) gold
His (F major) mother shines like (C major) angel (G major) choirs (C major)
that never (D minor) grow (F major) old (G major)
John Henry where'd (E minor) you go? (A minor)
I wonder every time (F major) it (C major) snows
See the hammer and the (E minor) body
in the (A minor) evening light
Skin (F major) of (C major) brown under a
(F major) bed of (C major) white
(F major) (C major) (F major)
John Henry, Where'd You Go?
