*************** DEATH AND HELL ***************
written by John R. Cash and John Carter Cash
performed by Johnny Cash.
Verse 1: AF#m She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street DE I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet AF#m We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan DEA But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man
Verse 2: F#B I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today EA Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way F#B She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you EA This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two
Chorus: DEDA Death and hell are never full DEA And neither are the eyes of men DEDA Cats can fly from nine stories high ED And pigs can see the wind
Verse 3: AF#m She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor DE Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door AF#m The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul DEA My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control
Verse 4: F#B Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal EA You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal F#B I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red EA The first station of the cross is just above my head F#B I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed EA Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
