***CAPO 3***
G                                            C
Run old Molly run, run old Molly run.
                          G                       D             G
Tenbrooks gonna beat you, to the bright shining sun.
                                                        D                   G
To the bright shining sun, Lord, to the bright shining sun.
G                                            C
Tenbrooks was a big bay horse, wore a shaggy mane.
                          G                       D             G
He ran all ‘round the Midwest, and beat the Memphis train.
                                                        D          
Beat the Memphis train, Lord beat the Memphis train.
G                                            C
Out in Californy, where Molly did as she pleased.
                          G                       D             G
Come back to old Kentucky, got beat with all ease.
                                                        D          
Beat with all ease, Lord, beat with all ease.
G                                            C
Tenbrooks said to Molly, what makes your head so red?
                          G                       D             G
Running in the hot sun, with a fever in my head.
                                                        D          
Fever in my head, Lord, fever in my head
G                                            C
Molly said to Tenbrooks, you’re looking mighty squirrel.
                          G                       D             G
Tenbrooks said to Molly, I’m leaving this old world.
                                                        D          
Leaving this old world, Lord, leaving this old world.
G                                            C
See old Molly coming, she’s coming around the curve.
                          G                       D             G
See old Tenbrooks running, straining every nerve.
                                                        D          
Straining every nerve, Lord, straining every nerve.
G                                            C
Hyper, Hyper, you’re not riding right.
                          G                       D             G
Molly’s a-beating old Tenbrooks, clear ‘round the side.
                                                        D          
Clear ‘round the side, Lord, clear ‘round the side.
G                                            C
Hyper, Hyper, Hyper my son.
                          G                       D             G
Give old Tenbrooks the bridle, and let old Tenbrooks run.

Let old Tenbrooks run, Lord, let old Tenbrooks run.
G                                            C
Women’s all a-laughing, children’s all a-crying,
                          G                       D             G
Men folks all a-hollin’, old Tenbrooks a-flying.
                                                        D          
Old Tenbrooks a-flying, Lord, old Tenbrooks a-flying.
G                                            C
Go a-catch old Tenbrooks, said hitch him in the shade.
                          G                       D             G
We’re gonna bury old Molly, in a coffin ready made.
                                                        D          
Coffin ready made, Lord, a coffin ready made.
G                                            C
Let old Tenbrooks run, Lord, let old Tenbrooks run.
