[verse]
F              C   D
I stood on the 66 highway
F              C   D
I stood on the 66 highway
F         C     D  
Wisteria, Magnolia 
F            C         D
beside the green line track
F           C    D
Said “Don’t Come Back


[verse]
F              C               D
I found myself standing on the mountain
F              C               D
I found myself standing on the mountain
F          C         D
Beneath my full moon heart
F          C          D      F          C         D
John Henry split this heart, split this full moon heart
F          C          D      F          C         D
John Henry split this heart, split this full moon heart

F         C                   D
Swing the heaviest hammer you got
F            C          D
Hit this one out of the park
F          C        D
John Henry split my heart


[verse]
F                  C            D
He says, “Boy what you going to do
F    C             D
With your heart in two?”
F             C        D
“Boy what you going to do
F         C        D
With your heart in two?”


[verse]
F      C    D
If its good enough
F           C    D
Only if its good enough
F      C    D
If its good enough
F               C    D
But only if its good enough


[verse]
F         C        D
Half, I’m going to use
F  C        D
To pay this band
F     C   D
Half, I’m saving
F          C            D
‘Cause I'm going to owe them
