Johnny Cash - Chicken In Black guitar chord

E) For two long years my head hurt bad

So a (A) doctor checked me an he shook his head

He said (B7) I'm sorry to tell you

But your body's outlived your brain (E)

He said I know this doctor in New York, son

And he'll (A) fix you right up with a brand new one

So the (B7) head doctor met me

When I stepped down off of the train. (E)

(E) He said we had this bank robber killed last night

His (A) body's shot but his brain's alright

I'll (B7) give you a transplant, boy

And you'll be OK (E)

I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great

I went (A) right back to Nashville with no headache

But something (B7) strange happened

When I walked in the bank one day. (E)

CHORUS

I said (A) stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place

Drop (E) all of your money in my guitar case

Don't (A) nobody move and don't nobody reach for that (B7) door

A (E) lady said, why you're Johnny Cash

I said (A) no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash

And I (B7) am the best bank robber in New York. (E)

(E) Now the other night Roy Acuff called me

He said (A) John I'd like for you to do the Opry

So I (B7) went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing (E)

I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line'

And (A) something snapped in this head of mine

I yelled (B7) stick 'em up -

Give me your money, your watches and rings. (E)

Change to F: F/Bb/C7

(F) Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack

And said (Bb) Doc I gotta have my old brain back

He said I'm (C7) sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do that (F)

He said I put your brain in a chicken last monday

He's (Bb) singing your songs and makin' lots of money

And I got him (C7) signed to a ten-year recording contract.(F)

(F) Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street

Remember (Bb) what you see ain't necessarily me

And if I (C7) try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind (F)

But when you got ten bucks that you can blow

You oughta (Bb) catch that Johnny Chicken show

He's doin' (C7) fairs and concert dates

All up and down the line. (F)

I said (Bb) stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place

Drop (F) all of your money in my guitar case

Don't (Bb) nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door (C7)

A (F) lady said, why you're Johnny Cash

I said (Bb) no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash

And I (C7) am the best bank robber in New York. (F)

TAG: TALK:

Well, I don't pay any income tax...

You don't pay tax on money you steal...

You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show...

Chicken In Black! hmmmmmmmm!
