John Browns Body

Just some variants of the C chord, I’m sure he plays a few more different ones.

Play main riff over verses and between verses
        G
There’s always the creaks and the strangest sounds
John Brown’s body was never found
        C
But the locals see him walkin’ round

           G
There’s a ‘for sale’ sign on the old farm roads
There’s a silo empty and done for
    C
The place just ain’t the same no more
G

         C
Now it’s shinin’ all them different ways
D
Crimson blues and yellow shades
        C
There’s snow up in the way
                               G
And those clouds still full of rain

        G
There’s work in town or so they say
Just blessed to fill our hands today
    C
God knows if it will ever pay
G

       C
And we fill our hands with wood and steel
D
And grace is a woman we all long to feel
    C
You know someday we will
                    G
You know someday we will

        G
There’s always the creaks and the strangest sounds
John Brown’s body’s up and walkin’ round
         C
Countin’ all the riches that he’s found
G

       C
And he throws it all in that wishing well
D
Made it home in the morning hail
        C
There’s snow up in the way
Something’s gotta give
                              G
And those clouds still full a rain
