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

Walk The Line Chords and Lyrics

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 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.

If you could read my mind, love

Just like an old time movie

'bout a ghost from a wishing-well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

Of bringing all the good things out in me

Long Black Veil Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
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

Man In Black Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
A
Well you wonder why I always dress in black
B
Why you never see bright colors on my back
D A D A
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
B E7
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on
A
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
B
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town
D A D A
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
B E7
But who is still in there as a victim of the time
A
I wear the black for those who've never read
B
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
D A D A
About the road to happiness through love and charity
B E7
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
A
Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
B
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
D A D A
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
B E7
Up front there ought to be a man in black
A
I wear it for the sick and the lonely old
B
For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold
D A D A
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
B E7
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
A
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
B
Believing that the Lord was on their side
D A D A
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
B E7
Believing that we all were on their side
A
Well, there're things that never will be right I know
B
And things need changing everywhere you go
D A D A
But 'till we start to make a move to make a few things right
B A
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
A
And I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
B
And tell the world that everything's okay
D A D A
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
B E7 A
Till things are brighter I'm the man in black
Meet Me In Heaven Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
Capo 2
E
We saw houses falling from the sky
A E
Where the mountains lean down to the sand
A E
We saw blackbirds circling 'round an old castle keep
E B
And I stood on the cliff and held your hand
E
We walked troubles brooding wind swept hills
A E
And we loved and we laughed the pain away
A E A
At the end of the journey, when our last song is sung
E B E
Will you meet me in Heaven someday
Chorus:
A D A
Can't be sure of how's it's going to be
A D A
When we walk into the light across the bar
A D A
But I'll know you and you'll know me
A D E
Out there beyond the stars
We've seen the secret things revealed by God
And we heard what the angels had to say
Should you go first, or if you follow me
Will you meet me in Heaven someday
Instrumental
Living in a mansion on the streets of gold
At the corner of Grace and Rapture Way I
n sweet ecstasy while the ages roll
Will you meet me in Heaven someday
In sweet ecstasy while the ages roll
Will you meet in Heaven someday

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

Cocaine Carolina Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
C G
Morning found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans
C G
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans
C G
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
C D G
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
C G
Met her on an ocean liner, called her Cocaine Carolina
C G
She was quite a lady then, and I was twenty-two
C G
God knows how much I adored her, I just never could afford her
C D G
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you
Chorus:
C G
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
C G
I'm going back to Sandy Skags, she knows just what to do
C G
She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body honey
C D C
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you
C G
Oh someone said if I was lucky, I could go back to Kentucky
C G
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
C G
Carolina we should get up, don't you know we'll have to split up
C G D
Maybe I should go to California

Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart Chords and Lyrics

From the backdoor of your life you swept me out, dear.

At the table of your love I got the brush off.

At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race.

Ive been washed down the sink of you conscience.

In the theater of your love I lost my part.

In the garbage disposal of your dreams Ive been ground up dear.

On the river of your plans Im up the creek.

Up the elevator of your future I've been shafted,

Folsom Prison Blues Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
E
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
A E
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
B E
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
A E
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
B E
when I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

Highwayman Chords and Lyrics
by: Johnny Cash
Intro: Bm7
Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
Bm7 A G Bm7
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
A G A
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em D A Em
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Em D Em A
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
Bm7 A G Bm7
The basterds hung me in the spring of 25,
D A
But I am still alive
Verse 2: (Kris Kristopherson)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed,
But I am living still
Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide,
Where steel and water did collide,
A place called boulder on the wild Colorado,
I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below,
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
But I am still around,
Bridge Thingy: (All)
D D/C# Bm7 A G D/F# Em
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around
Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
And when I reach the other side,
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
But I will remain,
Outro: (All) (same chords as bridge)
