Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D# G#
over folsom prison riff
[Verse]
G#
Started out in Tennessee in 1944
C#
When the Doctor hollered "it's a girl" my father hit the floor
G#
Then he hit the bottle and he signed his name and he drove off in the Nash
D# G# F#
Then when that sun came up again he'd named me Johnny Cash mmm-mmm
[Verse]
F#
So at 22 I left my home to Nashville I did go
B
To try to land me a little job had to earn myself some dough
F#
I was workin' in a diner in a hairnet servin' hash
C# F# E
And on my little apron was embroidered Johnny Cash mmm-mmm
[Verse]
E
I could've had my pick of men if I'd been named Lucille
A
But when they saw my uniform they just laughed and ate their meals
E
So I just drink my coffee black in back behind the trash
B B Bb A E
And curse that lousy drunkard who had named me Johnny Cash
[Instrumental]
A B E
over folsom prison riff
[Verse]
E
And I walked the streets of Nashville I was feelin' low and lost
A
Thought I'd go and change my name no matter what it cost
E
I stood in line behind a man who turned and in a flash
Bb E F#
He said my name is Sue and I said great I'm Johnny Cash mmm-mmm
[Verse]
F
Now me and Sue is married with a little boy and girl
B
The boy was christened Jessica and the girl was christened Earl
F#
And when my Sue comes home from work it's up the stairs we dash
C# F#
Cause I love to hear my little Susie say I love you Johnny Cash
[Outro]
C# F#
folsom riff
