	        A               
Now Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two 
D 
Seemed to know just what to do 
A 
Invented the sound that hooked you and me 
E 
Added one to make the Tennessee Three 
A 
The Man In Black was long and lean 
        D 
Hit the Billboard charts with a Teenage Queen 
      A 
Had a television show, the best we'd seen 
     E 
That chick-a-boom rock really made a splash 
                   A 
Missing ol' Johnny Cash 


            A# 
Well Johnny Cash was a friend of mine 
D# 
Knew him well for a mighty long time 
A# 
Shared the stage for many a show 
F 
Broke my heart to see him go 
A# 
Cash had the fire of a thousand men 
D# 
Lovin life was his greatest sin 
A# 
Treated his fans like the next of kin 
F 
Rappin a bit, talkin trash 
                   D# 
Missing ol' Johnny Cash 

         A# 
Well now Johnny Cash wore black attire 
       D# 
And he fell into that Ring of Fire 
   A# 
He came up swinging like a Boy Named Sue 
       F 
And he married June Carter and he (?)fires too(?) 
   A# 
He wrote his songs from deep within 
       D# 
And he hit the stage with a crooked grin 
       A# 
He and I were both Highwaymen 
         F 
And that record became a smash 
                            A# 
Well I'm missing ol' Johnny Cash 



B 
Johnny Cash never walked no line 
E 
Johnny Cash never did no time, but 
        B 
When he sang a Folsom Prison Blues 
    F# 
You knew good and well he'd paid his dues 
B 
True, he always dressed in black 
       E 
But he loved folks and they loved him back 
B 
Carried his pills in a brown paper sack 
     F# 
Well I don't care if they found his stash 
                       B 
I'm missin' old Johnny Cash 

SPOKEN, ALL IN A 
Now is it really true that him and Roy Nichols, Rose Maddox, some people roasted hot dogs in the back of a  
limousine with ice cream sticks? I don't know, I said they set the curtains on fire in a English hotel room  
just to warm their hands. Well. Willie, do you know anything about Cash? 

Well yeah, I know a lot of things about Cash. I'm not sure I should talk about it, but I checked with John,  
asked him if it's OK, he said he didn't give a shit.  
One time he took a casket up to his hotel room and got into it and called room service.  
I thought that was pretty funny 

    A 
Now Cash had the fire of a thousand men 
D 
Lovin life was his greatest sin 
A 
Treated his fans like the next of kin 
E 
Rappin a bit, talkin trash 
                   A
