Chords with lyrics

Capo 2, Standard Tuning. Lots of hammer-ons on C majorC and Am.

1.
C majorC
Come in, come in John Henry
   A minorAm
Come in out of the cold
      FF
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
       C majorC
But it ain't time for you to go

C majorC

2.
 C majorC
Sit down Miss Pollyanna
    A minorAm
Please wait for my return
      FF
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
    C majorC
But my love for you still burns

3.
 C majorC
Don't go, don't go John Henry
    A minorAm
Please lay down your hammer today
      FF
Cause that Old North Wind is calling
      C majorC
And she'll put you in the grave

4.
C majorC
Don't worry Pollyanna
   A minorAm
You know that I can't stay home
       FF
But if that Old North Wind is calling
    C majorC
I will fight her like a hammer to a stone

5.
 C majorC
Come quick Miss Pollyanna
   A minorAm
John Henry was taken today
   FF
That Old North Wind came calling him in
        C majorC
He was still fighting as he faded away
        C majorC
He was still fighting as he faded away

 C majorC
