Johnny Cash Accolade
(Eamon McCann EMC Music)
[Verse 1]
C G
There’s a place I keep in my heart for Johnny
C
He taught me many things that is a fact
C
And when my school day was ore
F
I’d close my bedroom door
G C
I’d sit there and listen to the Man in Black
C
Sunday Morning Coming Down
F
And Don’t take your guns to town
G C
I’d sing along and then I’d learn the chords
C
I guess things happen that way
F
Ring of fire and Ira Hayes
G C
Were You There When They Crucified My Lord
[Chorus]
C7 F
His music and the songs
C
Got me thinking right from wrong
F D G
How things are not always what they seem
C
He saw both sides of the argument
F Dm
Bad desire and good intent
G C
Johnny had a big effect on me.
[Verse]
C G
He had a wild side, that couldn’t be denied
C
But then all of us have in our own way
Flosom prison blues ,
F
Wanted man and boy named Sue
G C
Were testimony to his darker days
F
But he never got the difference
C
In the prisoners and Presidents
G C
They were all God’s children he’d say
F
When the politicians of his day
C
Told him what he shouldn’t say
G C
If it was true he’d say it anyway
[Chorus]
C7 F
His music and the songs
C
Got me thinking right from wrong
F D G
How things are not always what they seem
C
He saw both sides of the argument
F Dm
Bad desire and good intent
G C
Johnny had a big effect on me
C7 F
His music and the songs
C
Got me thinking right from wrong
F D G
How things are not always what they seem
C
He saw both sides of the argument
F Dm
Bad desire and good intent
G C
Johnny had a big effect on me
[Tag]
G
Johnny had a big effect
G
First time I heard Man In Black
G C G C
Lord he had a big effect on me
