Chords for Little John, I Am

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was born the son of a southern [E] sheriff off the Nair
Born with the reins and the [A] plow in my [Bm] calloused hands
I was working in the fields with my dad when [E] I was age two
[A] And [E] by ten I could do what my [B] dad could do
[E] My daddy was a hard working [B] man of the land
His name was John, little John I _ _ [F#] am
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Dm] _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] Well my mama took sick and died when [E] I was thirteen _
It was just dad and the dogs [F#m] and the crops [Bm] and me _
We worked six days from sun up [E] till sun _ down
And old son didn't pray [A] for the rain to [Bm] come [F#m] down
[E] My daddy was a God loving [B] Christian man _
His name was John, little John I _ am
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
Oh my daddy taught me how to work hard and [E] how to live right
Taught me how to promenade the girls [F#] on a Saturday [Bm] night _
[B] He said never hit a man till you know that [E] all's been said and done
I never liked to fight but every [B] fight I've won _
[E] My daddy had hands of steel and the [B] heart of a lamb
Lord his name was John, little John I _ am

_ _ _ _ [D] And he's a-weedin' out [E] the corn _ _ rows, kneeling next to [F#] me _ _ _ _ _
