Tonart: Ab major
Verse 1
G
Well they put John on that island,
D
hell, John on the island
G
They put him on an island of famine,
and he had no food to eat
He had no clothes, no hat, no shoes,
D
G
and he didn't have nothing on his feet
He looked at the earth around him,
he looked up at the sky
D
He looked at the grass and the trees and rocks,
G
and don't you know he began to cry
Because he thought he saw a mighty vision
D
As he looked out through the land
G
He thought he saw the trees
and the grass cut down
D
He saw himself a -living as a man
G
Oh, well, they put John on that island
D
Hey, John on the island
G
John took pebbles and gravel
He took some stone and clay
He took some damp from the evening tide
D
And he made him a place to stay
G
Well, the sun went down
at the end of the day
And the moon come up so bright
John never stopped till his work was done
D
And the day come pushing the night
G
Well, put John on that island
D
Hell, John on the island
G
They put John on that island
D
Hell, John on the island
G
Well, John got a little bit tired, know
But he did not want to lie down
He went and he stood on the top of a hill
And he started looking on around
He looked at the work that he had done,
he felt well, now twelve -y -tall
Stood way up on the top of the hill,
and he made the earth look small
Well, they put John on that island,
Hail John on the island
They put John on that island
Hail John on the island
I hail to my father John
My father hailed to me
The very last words that I ever spoke were
G
hail John on that island
They put John on that island
D
Hail John on the island
G
They put John on that island
Hail John on the island
They put John on the island, John,
Hey John on the island
They put John on,
they put him on the island,
Hey John on the island
