_ _ _ The ballad of John Henry [Eb] is at your throats [Gbm] again _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ John Henry was a little baby, _ _ sitting on his happy [E] knee _
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
And said, hammer gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord, [A] hammer gonna be the death of me
_ _ _ _ Well the captain, he said, John Henry, _ I'm gonna bring me a steam drill around _
Gonna take that steam drill out of the job
I'm gonna walk that steel on down, Lord, Lord, _ that steel on down
_ _ Take it, Henry _
Henry said to his captain, _ now a man ain't nothing but a [E] man _ _
[A] Before I let that steam drill beat me down
I'm gonna die with this hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord, die with this hammer in my hand
_ _ The _ _ captain said to John Henry, _ I believe this [E] mountain's sinking in
_ John Henry said to his captain, Lord, Lord, it's only my hammer sucking wind, Lord, Lord, only my hammer [A] sucking wind
_ _ Well _ John Henry, he drove fifteen feet, the steam drill had only made _ nine
But he drove so hard, he broke his poor heart and he laid _ down his hammer and he died, [D] Lord, _ Lord
[A] He laid _ down his hammer and he died _ _ _ _ _
They took John Henry to the graveyard, _ _ buried his body [E] in the sand
_ _ Every locomotive come a-roaring by, singing, there lies that steel driver, there _ _ _ lies that _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ steel driver _
There lies that steel driver, _ there lies that _ steel _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
