John Henry, Where'd You Go? Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well, John Henry, [Em]where'd [Am]you go?
I wonder every [F]time it [C]snows
See the [Em]hammer and the body
in [Am]the evening light
Skin [F]of [C]brown under a [F]bed of [C]white
The cracked [Em]mountains of those [Am]cold,
cruel mines
An elegy [F]under the [C]steam drill's whine
And if you [Em]listen right, it's [Am]suppertime
At [F]sunset, [C]you can hea[F]r it chi[C]me
That ringin' sound [G]like sil[Am]ver
That [Em]ringin' sound like [G]gold
That [F]ringin' sound like [C]angel [G]choirs[C]
That nev[Dm]er g[F]row ol[G]d
His mother [Em]hardly [Am]speaks
Her rocking chair [F]just [C]creaks
And I will sit here in the [Em]darkness
when the [Am]sun falls down
Eat [F]supper [C]cold and listen [F]for that [C]sound
That ringing sound [Am]like silver
That [Em]ringing sound like [G]gold
That [F]ringing sound like [C]angel [G]choirs[C]
That nev[Dm]er grow [F]old[G]
That was [Em]one hell of a[Am] year
So I'll make my [F]prayer [C]clear
Let the [Em]hammer crack the [Am]suffering tree
And [F]crack [C]the sky
So everyone [F]can see
[C]That John Henry sings l[G]ike silver[Am],
John [Em]Henry shines like [G]gold
John [F]Henry's [C]like the angel [G]choirs[C]
that nev[Dm]er g[F]row ol[G]d
And his mother shines like sil[Am]ver,
his [Em]mother sings like [G]gold
His [F]mother shines like [C]angel [G]cho[C]irs
that [Dm]never [F]grow [G]old
John Henry [Em]where'd [Am]you go?
I wonder every [F]time it [C]snows
See the hammer and the [Em]body
in the [Am]evening light
Skin [F]of [C]brown under a
[F]bed of [C]white
[F][C][F]
