A
Now Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two
D
Seemed to know just what to do
A
Invented the sound that hooked you and me
E
Added one to make the Tennessee Three
A
The Man In Black was long and lean
D
Hit the Billboard charts with a Teenage Queen
A
Had a television show, the best we'd seen
E
That chick-a-boom rock really made a splash
A
Missing ol' Johnny Cash
>> 1/2 STEP UP
A#
Well Johnny Cash was a friend of mine
D#
Knew him well for a mighty long time
A#
Shared the stage for many a show
F
Broke my heart to see him go
A#
Cash had the fire of a thousand men
D#
Lovin life was his greatest sin
A#
Treated his fans like the next of kin
F
Rappin a bit, talkin trash
D#
Missing ol' Johnny Cash
A#
Well now Johnny Cash wore black attire
D#
And he fell into that Ring of Fire
A#
He came up swinging like a Boy Named Sue
F
And he married June Carter and he (?)fires too(?)
A#
He wrote his songs from deep within
D#
And he hit the stage with a crooked grin
A#
He and I were both Highwaymen
F
And that record became a smash
A#
Well I'm missing ol' Johnny Cash
>> 1/2 STEP UP
B
Johnny Cash never walked no line
E
Johnny Cash never did no time, but
B
When he sang a Folsom Prison Blues
F#
You knew good and well he'd paid his dues
B
True, he always dressed in black
E
But he loved folks and they loved him back
B
Carried his pills in a brown paper sack
F#
Well I don't care if they found his stash
B
I'm missin' old Johnny Cash
SPOKEN, ALL IN A
Now is it really true that him and Roy Nichols, Rose Maddox, some people roasted hot dogs in the back of a
limousine with ice cream sticks? I don't know, I said they set the curtains on fire in a English hotel room
just to warm their hands. Well. Willie, do you know anything about Cash?
Well yeah, I know a lot of things about Cash. I'm not sure I should talk about it, but I checked with John,
asked him if it's OK, he said he didn't give a shit.
One time he took a casket up to his hotel room and got into it and called room service.
I thought that was pretty funny
A
Now Cash had the fire of a thousand men
D
Lovin life was his greatest sin
A
Treated his fans like the next of kin
E
Rappin a bit, talkin trash
