The Junkies Prayer by Johnny Cash
The Junkies Prayer
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G G7
This bed that I lay on is narrow and cold
C G
This sickness inside me, it tears at my soul
G
And the devil awaits me, he calls me his son
D
For he knows I'm cornered and too weak to run
[Verse 2]
G G7
For I soon must return to my gutter of thrills
C G
Where joy is the needle or a bottle of pills
D
Where a man welcomes misery like an old friend from home
C G
That he uses and abuses till the misery is gone
[Verse 3]
G G7
My mind's filled with torture my body's in pain
C G
But the needle is warm as it sinks in my vein
D G
Just a matter of seconds then my mind will be free
D
From the coldness and darkness that dominate me
[Verse 4]
G G7
But the freedom is short lived and then I'm alone
C G
I must find the pusher but my money's all gone
D
Then the cycle of horror starts over once more
D D
Oh God, don't let me suffer this misery no more
