John Brown's Body Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]There's always the creaks
and the strangest sounds
John brown's body was never found
But the [C]locals see him
walkin' round
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Gsus4]
[G]There's a 'for sale' sign
on the old farm roads
There's a silo empty and done for
The [C]place just ain't the same no more

[Verse 3]
[C]Now its [G]shi[C]nin' all them different ways,
[D]crimson blues and yellow shades
There's [F]snow up in the [C]way
And those clouds still full [G]of rain

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[C][G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
There's [G]work in town or so they say
Just blessed to fill our hands today
God [C]knows if it will ever
pay
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 5]
[G]
And we [C]fill our hands with wood and steel
And [D]grace is a woman we all
long to [F]feel
You know someday [C]we will...you know someday [G]we will

[Verse 6]
There's [G]always the creaks and
the strangest sounds
John brown's body's up and
walkin' round
Countin' [C]all the riches
that he's found
[G]

[Verse 7]
And he [C]throws it all in that wishing well
[D]Made it home in the morning hail
there's [F]snow up in the [C]way
[F]And [C]those clouds still [G]full a rain
