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!
