Dm7

A/G

Fº Fº * C Am

When I was a young man a-courtin' the girls,

Fº Fº * C

I played me a waitin' game;

Fº Fº * C Am

If a maid refused me with a toss of her curls,

I'd lFet the ol' woGrld take a coupCle of twirAmls,

And I'd pFly her with tears instead oCf pearls, Am

Fº Fº * C Am

And as time came around she came my way,

Fº Fº * G G7

As time came around, she came.

But it's a loFng, long time Fm7 from May to DeceCmber, C/B Am

And the AmdayGs grow sD7hort Dm7 when you rG7each SeptCember; C

When the autumn wFeatherFm turns the leaves to fClame, C/B Am

One AmhasGn't got tDime Dm7 for the wG7aiting gaCme. C

Oh, the dFays dwindle down to a pFm7recious few... Fm7

SepDm7-tem-ber...No-vem-ber... G

And tG7hese few pFrecious days Fm7 I'll spend with Cyou, C/B Am

These preAmcioGus daDys I'll spDm7end with yCou.

Oh, the dFays dwindle down to a pFm7recious few.Fm7..

These prA/Gecious daDys

Dm7 Dm7/5- C F Fº * Fº Dm7/5- C

I'll spend with you.

Fº Fº * C Am

When you meet with the young men in the early Spring

Fº Fº * C

They'll count you with wine and with song

Fº Fº * C Am

They'll woo you with words and a clover ring

But Fif you exGamine the gCoods that they bAmring

They have lFittle to offer but the sCongs that they sAming

Fº Fº * C Am

And a plentiful waste of time of day

Fº Fº * G G7

A plentiful waste of time

DWe counted the stars on the foBmurth of July,

GWishin' we were rockets burstin Ainto the sky.

DTalkin' about the redemption...lBmeavin' things behind,

As the sGun sank west of the AMendocino county lDine. Bm G A

Let me know I'm doing fGine. I used to make you happy oBmnce

Upon a time but the sGun sank west of the AMendocino county lDine. Bm G A

DThe two of us together, felt nBmothing but right

GFeelin' near immortal every FAriday night.

DLost in our convictions, lips sBmtained with wine

As the sGun sank west of the MAendocino county lDine.

GI have these pictures and I keep these photogrAaphs

To remind me of a time. ThGese pictures and these photogrAaphs

Let me know I'm doing fGine. I used to make you happy oBmnce

Upon a time but the sGun sank west of the AMendocino county lDine.

CI don't talk to you too much these Gdays

CI just thank the Lord pictures don't fDade

CI spent with an angelG just passing through

ANow all that's left is this image of you.

Bm7I was a Ahighwayman along the Gcoach roads I did Bm7ride

Awith sword and Gpistol Dby my Aside

EmMany a Bm7young maid lost her Abaubles to my Gtrade.

EmMany a Bm7soldier lost his Alifeblood on my Gblade.

Bm7The bastards Ahung me in the Gspring of A'2D5

Bm7I was a Asailor; I was Gborn upon the Bm7tide

Awith the Gsea I Ddid Aabide

EmI went Bm7aloft to 'furl the Amainsail in a G'blow

Bm7and when the Ayards broke off they Gsaid that AI got Dkilled

But GI am living Astill.

Bm7I was a dam Abuilder across the Griver deep and Bm7wide

Awhere steel and Gwater Ddid colAlide

EmA place called Bm7Boulder on the Awide ColoGrado

EmI slipped and Bm7fell into the Awet concrete beGlow

Bm7They buried Ame in that great Gtomb that Aknows no Dsound

Missing Ol Johnny Cash

Key: AMedium

Now JohnnyA Cash and the Tennessee Two

DSeemed to know just what to do

AInvented the sound that hooked you and me

EAdded one to make the Tennessee Three

AThe Man In Black was long and lean

Hit the DBillboard charts with a Teenage Queen

Had a Atelevision show, the best we'd seen

That Echick-a-boom rock really made a splash

Missing ol' Johnny ACash

Well Johnny ACash was a friend of mine

DKnew him well for a mighty long time

AShared the stage for many a show

FBroke my heart to see him go

ACash had the fire of a thousand men

DLovin life was his greatest sin

ATreated his fans like the next of kin

FRappin a bit, talkin trash

Missing ol' Johnny DCash

Well now AJohnny Cash wore black attire

And he Dfell into that Ring of Fire

He Acame up swinging like a Boy Named Sue

And he Fmarried June Carter and he (?)fires too(?)

He Awrote his songs from deep within

And he Dhit the stage with a crooked grin

He and AI were both Highwaymen

And that Frecord became a smash

Well I'm missing ol' Johnny ACash

BJohnny Cash never walked no line

EJohnny Cash never did no time, but

When he Bsang a Folsom Prison Blues

You Fknew good and well he'd paid his dues

BTrue, he always dressed in black

But he Eloved folks and they loved him back

BCarried his pills in a brown paper sack

Well FI don't care if they found his stash

I'm missin' old Johnny BCash

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

Now ACash had the fire of a thousand men

DLovin life was his greatest sin

ATreated his fans like the next of kin

ERappin a bit, talkin trash
