Johnny Cash  geboren als J. R. Cash  * 26. Februar 1932 in Kingsland (Arkansas)  

Johnny Cash, nacido John Ray Cash (26 de febrero de 1932 - 12 de septiembre de 2003) fue un cantautor estadounidense de country, gospel, rock and roll y rockabilly. Fue uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical.  Cash fue conocido por su profunda voz, por el característico sonido boom-chick-a-boom de su banda de acompañamiento, los Tennessee Three y, por vestir ropa oscura, lo que le valió el apodo de «El Hombre de Negro» («The Man in Black»).

&quot;Hurt&quot; was written by Trent Reznor and first released on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. Johnny Cash's cover of &quot;Hurt&quot; was released on his 2002 album, American IV: The Man Comes Around.   Rick Rubin, producer of Cash's American series and a friend of Reznor's, suggested the song to Cash. The line &quot;crown of shit&quot; was changed to &quot;crown of thorns&quot;, not only removing profanity from the lyrics, but also more directly referencing Christ. The cover was released on a single with the B-side &quot;Personal Jesus&quot;, a cover of the Depeche Mode single. 


Verse 1:

  C      Dsus2    Am     C      D       Am
I hurt myself today   to see if I still feel

  C     Dsus2   Am        C    D            Am
I focus on the pain   the only thing that's real

    C      Dsus2   Am         C      D      Am
The needle tears a hole   the old familiar sting

       C       Dsus2 Am           C      D    *G (*start chord strums)       
Try to kill it all away   but I remember everything

Chorus:

Am             F        C            G
What have I become?     My sweetest friend

Am          F           C          G
Everyone I know   goes away in the end

    Am                F       G            G
And you could have it all     My empire of dirt

Am              F     G        -      *Am  (*return to finger style)
I will let you down   I will make you hurt

Verse 2:

  C         Dsus2    Am        C      D      Am
I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liar's chair

C       Dsus2   Am        C     D     Am
Full of broken thoughts   I cannot repair

  C         Dsus2      Am         C       D      Am
Beneath the stains of time   the feeling   disappears

C       Dsus2    Am    C     D          *G   (*start chord strums)       
You are someone else   I am still right here

Chorus:

Am             F        C            G
What have I become?     My sweetest friend

Am          F           C          G
Everyone I know   goes away in the end

    Am                F       G            G
And you could have it all     My empire of dirt

Am              F     G                G
I will let you down   I will make you hurt

  Am              F        G              G
If I could start again   A million miles away

Am             F     *G               (*one single strum only)
I would keep myself   I would find a way

Hurt

G                                G7
the other night, dear, as I lay  sleeping
           C                 G
I dreamed I  held you in my  arms
        C                   G
when I  awoke, dear, I was  mistaken
        Em      D          G
and I  hung my head and I cried

           G                   G7
You are my sunshine, my only  sunshine
              C                    G
you make me  happy when skies are  gray
               C                      G
you'll never  know, dear, how much I  love you
              Em       D        G
please don't  take my sunshine a way

             G                     G7
I've always loved you and made you happy
             C                G
and nothing  else could come  between
                C                G
but now you've  left me to love  another
          Em       D         G
you have  shattered all of my  dreams

           G                   G7
You are my sunshine, my only  sunshine
              C                    G
you make me  happy when skies are  gray
              C                       G
you'll never  know, dear, how much I  love you
              Em       D         G
please don't  take my sunshine a way

You Are My Sunshine

C              F              C
Beside a singin' mountain stream where the willow grew
          F              C              D7            G
Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the mornin' dew
  C                F              C
I braided twigs of willow, made a string of buckeye beads
    F                     C               F                    C
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
F                     C               F                    C
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need


I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew
I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue
Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Interlude: F and C x4

A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song
Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along
These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die
And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds
Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Flesh And Blood

G                   C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
D7                              C            G 
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light 
                                      C
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed 
           D7                      C        G  
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me 
      G                     C        
The judge said son, what is your alibi 
             D7                       C             G  
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die 
                               C
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life 
         D7                     C             G 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

             C          G           C          G  
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
      C         G              C          G 
She visits my grave when the night winds wail 
               C      G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
C        D7       G  C G  
Nobody knows but me        

      G                    C
The scaffold is high and eternity's near 
      D7                     C         G 
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
                                 C
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans 
      D7                    C             G 
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones 
 
 
      C          G           C          G  
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
      C         G              C          G 
She visits my grave when the night winds wail 
               C      G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
C        D7       G  C G  
Nobody knows but me

Down There By The Train

Unearthed

A
My daddy left home when I was three
D
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
E                                           A
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
A
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
D
But the meanest thing that he ever did
E                                         A
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."


A                      
Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
D
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
E                                     A
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
A
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
D
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
           E                                A
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."


A
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
D
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
E                                     A
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
A
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
D
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
E                                        A
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.


A
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
D
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
E                                    A
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
A
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
D
There at a table, dealing stud,
E                                       A
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."


A
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
D
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
E                                         A
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
A
He was big and bent and gray and old,
D
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
E                              A
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!

Now you gonna die!!"


A
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
D
And he went down, but to my surprise,
E                                     A
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
A
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
D
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
E                                                   A
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.


A
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
D
But I really can't remember when,
E                                       A
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
A
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
D
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
E                                          A
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.


A
And he said: "Son, this world is rough
D
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
E                                         A
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
A
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
D
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
E                                         A
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."


A
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
D
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
E                                               A
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
A
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
D
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
E                                            A
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"


A
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
D
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
E                                         A
And I came away with a different point of view.
A
And I think about him, now and then,
D
Every time I try and every time I win,
[No Chords]
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
                A (keep strumming)
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
                                 A           D
I think you only live to see the lights of town.
  G
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
C                                                  D           G
When the lights have lost their glow, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

G
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone.
                                A               D
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone.
       G
You'll call to me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye,"
      C                                  D            G
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry,

G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone,
          C                          G
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own.
             D            G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.

  G
I lie awake at night and wait 'til you come in.
                                        A       D
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
     G
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie.
     C                               D            G
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.


G
When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you.
                                   A               D   
You'll come back to me for a little love that's true.
G
I'll tell you no then you'll ask me why, why, why?
     C                                   D            G
When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry.


G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then,
      C                           G
It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been.
             D            G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.

From the backdoor of your life you swept me out, dear.
       G                                  D
In the breadline of your dreams I lost my place.
       G                            C
At the table of your love I got the brush off.
       G                    D                G
At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race.


          C                           G
I've been washed down the sink of you conscience.
       D                              G
In the theater of your love I lost my part.

And now you say you've got me out of your conscience.
            D                                 G
I have been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.

G                                                C
In the garbage disposal of your dreams I've been ground up dear.
       G                          D      
On the river of your plans I'm up the creek.
       G                                   C
Up the elevator of your future I have been shafted,
       G           D                G
On you calendar of events I am last week.

Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart

G                         G7
The old hometown looks the same
     C                  G
As I step down from the train
                                  D       D7
There to meet me is my mama and my papa
         G              G7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C                           
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
     G                 D7                    G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

G                         G7
The old house is still standing
            C                   G
Though the paint is cracked and dried
                                         D       D7
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
         G                G7
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C                           
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
     G                 D7                    G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
        G                 G7
Yes they'll all come to see me
         C
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
        G                 D7                   G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


BREAK: G  D  G

G                         G7
Then I awake and look around me
        C                  G
At the cold gray walls that surround me
                           D       D7
And I realize I was only dreamin'
                  G          G7
For there's the guard and a sad old padre
C                           
Arm-in-arm, I walk at daybreak
 G                 D7                    G
Again I touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
            G           G7
Yes they'll all come to see me
      C
In the shade of that old oak tree
          G                 D                    G
As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home

Cocaine Blues               

C 
Early one morning while makin' the rounds,
                               G
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down,
                                G7
I went right home and I went to bed,
  C                         G          C
I stuck a lovin' forty-four beneath my head.
 
C
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun,
                             G
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run,
                              G7
made a good run but I run too slow,
     C                          G   C
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico.
 
C
Late n the hot joint takin' the pill,
                           G
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill.
                                     G7
He said, &#8220;Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown, C                                    G     C
you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down&#8221;.
 
C
Oh yes, o yes,  my name's is Billy Lee,
                                 G
if you've got a warrant just a - read it to me,
                                    G7
I shot her down because she made me sore,
C                                     G    C
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
C
When I was arrested I was dressed in black,
                                G
they put me on a train and they took me back,
                           G7
had no friend for to go my bail,
     C                                G      C
they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail.
 
C
Early next morning 'bout at half past nine,
                         G
I saw the sheriff comin' down the line,
                                      G7
that sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat,
          C                               G        C
he said, &#8220;Come on you dirty hack into the district court.
 C
Into the courtroom my trial began,
                       G
where I was handled by twelve honest men.
                             G7
Just before the jury started out,
  C                                 G    C
I saw that little judge commence to look about.
 
C
In about five minutes in walked a man,
                       G
holding the verdict in his right hand,
                               G7
the verdict read &#8220;In the first degree&#8221;,
C                            G        C
I hollered Lordy Lordy, have mercy on me.
 
C
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen,
                         G
ninety-nine years in the Folsom Penn,
                                  G7
ninety-nine years underneath that ground,
C                                       G     C
I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch down.

C7                       F
Come on you gotta listen on to me,
D                         G                C
stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.

Ballad Of A Teenage Queen

Big River 
Johnny Cash
 
G
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
                                          A7         D7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
        G                                           C
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
     G                   D7           G
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
 
 
I met her accidentally in St.Paul, Minnesota
                                         A7             D7
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl southern drawl
       G                                  C
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavorting in Davenport
      G                      D7       G
And I followed you Big River when you called
 
 
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
                                     A7                   D7
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
  G                                  C
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
    G                                  D7           G
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
 
 
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge River Queen roll it on
                               A7           D7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans  New Orleans
      G                       C
Go on I've had enough dump my blues down in the gulf
    G                   D7        G
She loves you Big River more than me

You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven - Johnny Cash


D
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
  A7                                      D
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
D
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
               A7                D
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen


CHORUS: 
D           G7                               D
You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
       G7                                  D
I have searched for happiness so long and far
D                                       G7
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
                  D                A7               D
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven, yes you are


I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you

CHORUS

I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

CHORUS

You're The Nearest Thing To Heaven

Em                                 G
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
  Em 
Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way
     Em           (C/E)          (A/E)            (C/E)
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
C                        (Am)      Em
Coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw


      Em                                  G
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
      Em
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
  Em                (C/E)               (A/E)               (C/E)
A bolt of fear went through him as they rumbled through the sky
        C                          (Am)        Em
Then he saw the riders coming hard,     and he heard their mournful cry

(Chorus) 
         G             Em   (D)
Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh
C           (Am)    Em
Ghost riders in the sky


       Em                         G
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
       Em                                                    
If you want to save your soul from hell, a riding on this range
     Em                (C/E)         (A/E)            (C/E)
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
C                              (Am)    Em
Trying to catch the devil's herd,    across these endless skies

I Still Miss Someone

INTRO  A

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
        D              E                A
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
        A                               F#m
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
                      E
So I had one more for dessert
       A                               D
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
                            A      F#m
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
       D                  E
Then I washed my face and combed my hair

Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day


I smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small boy
Cussin' at a can that he'd been kickin'
I crossed the empty street
Caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way

A                       D
    On a Sunday morning sidewalk
                              A
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stone
                              E
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
                        A
That makes a body feel alone
                                 D
And there ain't nothing short of dying
                        A
Half as lonesome as the sound
                   E
Of a sleeping city sidewalk
                      A	
Sunday morning coming down


In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl that he'd been swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the songs that they were singin'
I headed down the road,
Somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyon
Like a disappearin' dream of yesterday

CHORUS
End the song strumming A-Asus4-Asus4-A

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Intro: A   A 
                                                                                     
  A                                  E                  A
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm,
                                  E              A                     
a boy filled with wanderlust, who really meant no harm.
   D 
He changed his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down.
        A
And his mother cried as he walked out,
       D                 A
"don't take your guns to town, son.
D                  A
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
      D                 A
Don't take your guns to town."
   A                                        E               A
He laughed and kissed his mom and said, "your Billy Joe's a man.
                                    E            A     
I can shoot as quick and straight as  anybody can
      D
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down."
        A
But she cried again as he rode away,
       D                 A
"don't take your guns to town, son.
D                  A
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
      D                 A
Don't take your guns to town."
   A                       E                   A
He sang as on he rode, his guns hung at his hips.
                             E              A 
He rode into a cattle town, a smile upon his lips.
   D
He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down.
        A
But his mother's words echoed again:
       D                 A
"don't take your guns to town, son.
D                  A
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
      D                 A
Don't take your guns to town."
   A                                    E                A   
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand,
                                    E           A
and tried to tell himself at last he had become a man.
  D 
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down.
       A
And he heard again his mother's words:
       D                 A
"don't take your guns to town, son.
D                  A
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
       D                A
Don't take your guns to town."
A                                     E              A
Filled with rage the Billy Joe reached for his gun to Draw
                                           E              A   
but the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw.
   D
As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round
    A
and wondered at his final words:
       D                 A
"don't take your guns to town, son.
D                            A
Leave your guns at home, Bill.
      D                 A
Don't take your guns to town."

Orange Blossom Special

D                                   G                    D
I remember when I was a lad, times were hard and things were bad,
                                         A
But there's a silver linin' behind every cloud.
          D
Just poor people, that's all we were,
                 G                        D
Tryin' to make a livin' out of  blackland earth,
                                  A              D
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud. 

D
Daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor,
              G                        D
Me and little brother would join right in there,
                                        A
'cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul.
             D                                 G              D
One of these days and it won't be long, I'll rejoin them in a song
                          A             D
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne.
                        D7              G                  D
No, the circle won't be broken, bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye.
                                 D
Daddy'll sing bass, Mama'll sing tenor,
              G                       D                           A      D
Me and little brother will join right in there, in the sky, Lord, in the sky.

           D                          G              D
Now, I remember after work mama would call in all of us,
                                        A
You could hear us singin' for a country mile.
            D                                    G             D
Now, little brother has done gone on, but I'll rejoin him in a song,
                           A                  D
We?ll be together again up yonder in a little while.

The Essential Johnny Cash

G                             
Well you wonder why I always dress in black
                                      A
Why you never see bright colors on my back
     C             G                C             G
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
                 A                               D7                      
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on

                                              
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But who is still in there as a victim of the time

I wear the black for those who've never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me

Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black

I wear it for the sick and the lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men 

And I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believing that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Believing that we all were on their side

Well, there're things that never will be right I know
And things need changing everywhere you go
But 'till we start to make a move to make a few things right
You'll never see me wear a suit of white

And I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
And tell the world that everything's okay
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
                  A       D7             G
Till things are brighter I'm the man in black

Man In Black

C
well i left kentucky back in 49 
C
and went to detroit workin on a assembly line
G
the first year they had me putting wheels on cadillacs
Am
every day i'd watch them beauties roll by
Am
and sometimes i'd hang my head and cry
Em
cuz i always wanted the one that was long and black
one day i devised myself a plan
that should be the envy of most any man
i'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
now getting caught meant getting fired
but i figured i'd have it all by the time i retired
i'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me

    C                   F               C              C

    C          G7             C             C
And long ago I stopped askin' why


2. San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.
   You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
   And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
   Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

3. San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
   Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
   You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
   And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

4. San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
   May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
   May all the world forget you ever stood.
   And may all the world regret you did no good.

   San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.

I Walk The Line

  C      G                            C
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,
          G                      C
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
           F                         C
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,
               G                C
because you're mine, I walk the line.
 
          G                     C
I find it very, very easy to be true,
         G                           C
I find myself alone when each day is through.
          F                    C
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you,
               G                C
because you're mine, I walk the line.
 
           G                        C
As sure as night is dark and day is light,
           G                       C
I keep you on my mind both day and night.
        F                                 C
And happiness I've known proves that it's right,
               G                C
because you're mine, I walk the line.
 
             G                      C
You've got a way to keep me on your side,
            G                           C
you give me cause for love that I can't hide.
          F                             C
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide,
               G                C
because you're mine, I walk the line.

Austin Prison

A                 E        A 
They had a warrant out for me all over country 
                         E  
And I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho,
  A                          D 
I was breaking into a school house Sunday morning without warning 
A              E        A
When I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below

A              E        A                                      
His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me 
                    E
His hand was on his gun when he rode up
A                         D
He said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it?
A          E      A
I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up


A               E        A
Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning 
                      E
And he had me deep in Texas the next day
A                  D    
A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in streets of Austin
A             E          A
But he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away


A           E          A 
A jury found me guilty three months later 
                   E 
Weld evil men with murder in their eyes
A                 D
They even took me out and said now show us where you killed her
A               E          A           
And that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die
                                             E
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file
A                      D               
Now all I want between me and there are a lot of friendly people 
A             E         A  
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Apache Tears

C               G            C                    F 
Hoof prints and foot prints, deep ruts the wagons made 
    C              G             C      G 
The victor and the loser came by here 
   C               G                 C               F  
No head stones but these bones bring Mescalero death moans  
C                    F              G                C  
See the smooth black nuggets by the thousands laying here  
C             F             G            C 
Petrified but justified are these Apache tears 
 
 
C           G          C             F 
Dead grass, dry roots, hunger crying in the night 
C               G                   C     G 
Ghost of broken hearts and laws are here 
    C           G                C               F  
And who saw the young squaw they judged by their whiskey law 
C                 G                C 
Tortured till she died of pain and fear 
          C                F            G            C 
Where the soldiers lay her back are the black Apache tears 
 
 
    C              G            C              F 
The young men, the old men, the guilty and the innocent 
C                  G                  C      G 
Bled red blood and chilled alike with fear 
    C            G          C             F  
The red men, the white men, no fight ever took this land

D                                  A7          D
Oh, I'll twine with my mingles and raven black hair
                              A7        D
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
                  D7		 G       D
And the myrtle so green with its emerald hue
                         A7           D
The pale emanita and the eyes look so blue.

                                  A7             D
Oh I'll dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
                                       A7     D
I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway
                    D7           G        D
When I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay
                    A7            D
All portion of love had all flown away.

D                       	   A7       D
Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love
                           A7     D
And to cherish me over all others above
                    D7           G          D
How my heart is now wond'ring no mis'ry can tell
                            A7       D
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell.

D                                A7            D
Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flow'r
                                              A7     D
That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
                  D7                 G    D
Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour
                                  A7       D
He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flow'r.

C
Lord she's restless
     F                                 C
Like cotton candy clouds that sail the day
         F                C
Slow and free  and she possesses
  F                                C                 F
A mind that can't resign itself to stay for long with me
     
     G7                                   F
So I tried and tried to keep her tied and satisfied
                 C               F
Until she really needs me  yes I do
    C                                   G7
But when that certain look comes on her face
          F                       C
I can't replace it and she leaves me
 
        G7                        F
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try
              C                  F
Her brand new wings on brand new things
        C                 F                C
And she needs no rhyme or reason  when she goes
    G7                               F
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of Blue horizon
 
    C                 F
I suppose  and heaven knows
          C              G7                C
She'll go sailing off on any old wind that blows
        F             C
Yes she will  yes she will
                         G7                C
She'll go sailing off on any old wind that blows
 
 
I know she needs me
         F                      C
About as much as I need someone else
        F                   C
Which I don't   and if need be
  F                                 C
I swear someday I'll up and leave myself  
 
        F      G7
Which I won't  even If she loved another man 
         F                    C
I'd understand it more than I do
                                        
Umh  umh  umh  but I know the only reason
              G7                           C
That she ever has for leaving is she wants to

(Oh my darling Clementine)

    F                              C
She knew that Cody was the man she wanted
G7                                C
But she had waited nearly all her life
     F                        C
Just one more trip to town to tell the boys goodbye
     G7                               C
Then he'd be back to take her for his wife
           G7           C
(Don't you worry) Clementine

F                            C
Cody saddled up and left his darling
     G7                            C
Then rode to town to celebrate his plan
   F                                C
He told them this would be his last carousing
    G7                          C
I'm gonna settle down boys if I can
         G7             C
(With my darling) Clementine

F                                   C
Someone said it must have been past midnight
G7                              C
When Cody had to face a jealous man
  F                        C
Another story goes that no one really knows
       G7                                C
But it seems there was a dance-hall girl called Nan
           G7          C
(Don't you tell) Clementine

F                                 C
We do know that a shot or two was heard from some back room
     G7                         C
Then there was a silence in the place
     F                         C
Just one more trip to town but all his chips were down
     G7                      C
They found Cody lying on his face
        G7             C
(Softly calling) Clementine

F                             C
So buddies make a monument to lay down at his head
G7                              C
Sure you hate to leave your pal behind
F                                 C
Mother help your daughter put her wedding dress away
      G7                             C
Cause Cody won't be riding back this time
        G7             C

My Mother's Hymn Book 

C                                         C7
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
  F                            C
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
 
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night

Just like a blind man I wandered along
F                                  C
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
       
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight

Praise the Lord I saw the light

CHORUS: 
                               C7

The Survivors Live

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

We just need a face to face
C                    Em7            F
You could pick the time and the place
               G
You spent some time away

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
