Johnny Cash

Text File

Alright, its probably because this is a pretty simple song that no one has put up the I decided to just in case. Tuning: Standard Chords used: E, A7, B7. There'll be some subtle variations on each chord. Give the song good listen to figure them out, mainly on the E. E I gave my woman half my money at the general store I said, "Now buy a little B7 E groceries, and don't spend no more." But she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat A7 B7 And bought some store bought cat food for that mean eyed cat. E When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head There wasn't a cotton pickin' B7 E thing on her side of the bed I found a little old note where her head belonged It A7 B7 said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone." A7 E When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin' I was scared as I E A7 B7 could be I put on my overalls and I headed to town Gonna bring her back with me. E I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there I told him all about B7 E her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad A7 B7 blamed...... I b'lieve I did see her leavin' on the east bound train." A7 E I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train I was broke as I could be But A7 B7 when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket, gonna bring her back with me. E Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas And I worked up the guts to call B7 E my Mother-In-Law She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right." "She's A7 B7 workin' four to twelve at Trucker's World tonight." A7 E When I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apron And she grabbed her A7 goin' home hat ,she bought a ticket with her tips and now we're curled up on the B7 E sofa, me and her and that mean eyed cat the rest of the song just jams on E
