John Henry And The Old North Wind chords by Joe Purdy

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

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

C

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

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

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

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

  C
