*************** DEATH AND HELL ***************

written by John R. Cash and John Carter Cash

performed by Johnny Cash.

Verse 1:

A F#m

She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street

D E

I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet

A F#m

We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan

D E A

But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man

Verse 2:

F# B

I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today

E A

Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way

F# B

She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you

E A

This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two

Chorus:

D E D A

Death and hell are never full

D E A

And neither are the eyes of men

D E D A

Cats can fly from nine stories high

E D

And pigs can see the wind

Verse 3:

A F#m

She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor

D E

Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door

A F#m

The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul

D E A

My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

Verse 4:

F# B

Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal

E A

You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal

F# B

I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red

E A

The first station of the cross is just above my head

F# B

I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed

E A

Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head

Chorus.
