Papa kept on driving, never stopped once at a bar

G                              D

I remember a lot of times we packed up everything we owned and started out for some new
And through it all mama's faith was the one thing strong enough to finally do some good.

(Chorus) end.

Sunday Morning Coming Down Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash

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

The Man Comes Around Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash

VERSE:

C/G
There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.

An' he decides who to free and who to blame.

Everybody won't be treated all the same.
                                     Am     F     G            C/G
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around.
C/G
The hairs on your arm will stand up.

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.

For you partake of that last offered cup,
                                 Am
Or disappear into the potter's ground.
 F     G              C
When the man comes around.

CHORUS:

C                               C3
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
C                               C3
One hundred million angels singin'.
C                                         G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.

Voices callin', voices cryin'.

Some are born an' some are dyin'.
                               C
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
      F                   C     
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
  C/G
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
  F                   C
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
   C/G
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

VERSE:

C/G
Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.

Then the father hen will call his chickens home.

The wise men will bow down before the throne.
                                        Am
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown.
 F     G            C/G
When the man comes around.

Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.

Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.

Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
                                 Am
Listen to the words long written down,
 F     G              C
When the man comes around.

CHORUS:

C                                C3
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
C                                C3
One hundred million angels singin'.
C                                         G
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum.

Voices callin', voices cryin'.

Some are born an' some are dyin'.
                               C
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
      F                   C
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
C/G                              
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
  F                   C
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
C/G
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
                                      Am
In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
 F     G              C
When the man comes around.

Walk The Line Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash

A        E7                           A
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
A         E7                     A
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
A          D                         A
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
A              E7               A
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Wildwood Flower Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash

E B E

E                                  B            E
Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
                             B         E
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair
                                A        E
And the myrtle so bright with the emerald dew
                          B               E
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue.


I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway
When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay
All portions of love had all flown away.

E B E

G D G

G                                  D          G
Oh she taught me to love her and promised to love
                         D        G
And to cherish me over all others above
                                C          G
How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell
                         D            G
She left me no warning no words of farewell.


Yes she taught me to love her and called me her flower
That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour
Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour
She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower.

Wreck Of The Old 97 Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash

  G                      C
They gave him his orders at Monroe Vaginia
     G                         D
sayin' Steve your way behind the time
      G                        C
this is not thirty eight this is old 97
G             D          G
pull her into Spencer on time.


 G                         C
He turned and he said to his black greasy fireman
    G                       D
let's shovel on a little more coal
  G                  C
and when we cross that wide oak mountain
   G                D     G
just watch old ninety seven roll.


   G                       C
Was a mighty rough road from Lenburg to Danvill
    G                      D
on a climb with a three mile grade
      G                    C
it was on that grade that he lost his air brakes
G          D       G
see what a jump he made.


     G                            C
He was comin' down the grade makin' ninety miles an hour
  G                    D
his whistle broke into a scream
     G                           C
he was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle
G          D            G
scolded to death by the steam


   G                  C
Well all you ladies had better take warnin'
   G                D
from this time on and learn
    G                         C
never speak harsh words to your true love or husband
      G            D       G
he may leave you and never return
