Allan Gary - Nickajack Cave guitar tab

INTRO: E

VERSE:

E

Little white pills and whiskey

E

Honky tonks and smoke

E

One night stands with his country band

E

Had him strung out on the ropes

E A

Well he cried out to Jesus

A E

He said Jesus I think I'm too lost to save

E D A E

He already had on foot inside his grave

E D A E

As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave

VERSE:

Everything was darkness

Wasn't no light at all

Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt

And he spiders on the walls

Well he laid down beneath a ledge

And curled up there to meet his judgement day

The shivering came upon him wave by wave

Well he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave

REFRAIN:

A

Then high above him shone a light

A

He never would forget

A D

Then he heard a voice say Johnny Cash

D

I ain't thru with you yet

D E

Get up I ain't thru with you yet

E

I ain't thru with you yet Johnny Cash

E

Get up

VERSE:

Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge

And felt a gentle breeze

Tears and dirt smeared on his face

As peaceful as could be

Well he knelt down upon the ground

Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed

He said Lord I'll be your servant from this day

That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave

That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave

E

Get up Johnny Cash I ain't thru with you yet

E

Get up
