Cash Johnny - Drive On guitar chord

{t: Drive on}

{st: Johnny Cash - American Recordings}

[C]I got a friend named Whisky Sam

[F]He was my boony red (?) buddy for a year in 'Nam

[G]He said 'I think my country got a little off track'

[C]It took him 25 years to welcome it back

[C]But it's better than not coming back at all

[F]Many a good man I saw fall

[G]And even now, sometimes when I dream

[C]I hear the men and the monkeys and the jungle scream

{c:chorus}

{start_of_chorus}

[C]Drive on, it don't mean nothing

[F]Children love me but they don't understand

[G]And I got a woman who knows her man

[C]Drive on, it don't mean nothing

It don't mean nothing, [G7]drive [C]on

{end_of_chorus}

I remember one night when Tex and me

Rappled in on a hot LZ

We had our 16's on rock-and-roll

And with all of that fire I was scared and cool

I was crazy, and I was wild

I had seen the tiger smile

I spit in a bamboo viper's face

And I'd be dead but by God's grace

{c: chorus}

It was a long walk in a sad rain

And nobody tried to be John Wayne

I came home, but Tex did not

And I can't talk about the hit he got

Now I got a little limp when I walk

And I got a little tremolo when I talk

But the letter I got from Whisky Sam

Said 'you're a walking, talking miracle from Vietnam'

{c: chorus}
