Johnny Cash - Roughneck guitar chord

ROUGHNECK

Album: Blood, Sweat and Tears

KEY: E

CHORUS:

A E

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothing

E B7 E

Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor

VERSE:

E

Well I was born in a boomer shack about a half a mile from town

E F# B7

Papa was driller on a wildcat crew and mama never was around

E

I learned to cuss when I was two and fight when I was three

E B7 E

And by the time I was five there was no kid alive could ever get the best of me

CHORUS:

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothing

Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor

BREAK: A E B7 E

VERSE:

Well I started working like a regular man when I was just about knee high

Skinning the knuckles on my two bare hands but they never heard me cry

I remember walking down the road and hearing somebody say

He was born to live a roughneck's life and he's never gonna change his ways

CHORUS:

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothing

Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor

CHORUS:

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothing

Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor
