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

[Verse 1]

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

[Main riff]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Violin Solo]

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
