The Chicken in Black Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash - The Chicken In Black
[A] [D] [E] [A] [E]
For [A]two long years my head hurt bad
So the [D]doctor checked me and he shook his head
He said I’m [E]sorry to tell you put your body’s out lived your [A]brain[E]
He said I [A]know this doctor in New York son
And he’ll [D]fix you right up with a brand new one
So the [E]head doctor met me when I stepped down off the [A]train.[E]
He said we [A]had this bank robber killed last night
His [D]body’s shot but his brain’s alright
I’ll [E]give you a transplant boy and you’ll be [A]okay.[E]
I got my [A]new brain in and I was feelin’ great
I went [D]right back to Nashville with no head ache
But somethin’ [E]strange happened when I walked in the bank one [A]day.
Chorus:
I said stick ‘em [D]up everybody I’m robbin’ this place
Drop [A]all of your money in my guitar case
Don’t [D]nobody move and don’t nobody reach for that [E]door
A [A]lady said why you’re Johnny Cash
I said [D]no ma’am, I’m The Manhatton Flash
And I [E]am the best bank robber, in New [A]York.
Now the [A]other night Roy Acuff called me
He said [D]John I’d like you to do the Orpy
So I [E]went out on the stage, but I couldn’t [A]sing[E]
I got into [A]half a verse of I Walk The Line
And [D]somethin’ snapped in this head of mine
I yelled [E]stick ‘em up, give me your money your watches and your [A]rings.
[Bb]Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack
I said [Db]doc I got to have my old brain back
He said I’m [F]sorry there Mr. Cash but I can’t do [Bb]that.[F]
He said I [Bb]put your brain in a chicken last Monday
He’s [Db]singin’ your songs and makin’ lots of money
And I [F]got him signed to a ten year recordin’ con[Bb]tract.[F]
Now [Bb]friends if you see me walkin’ down the street
Remember [Db]what you see ain’t necessarly me
And if [F]I try to hold you up, don’t pay me no [Bb]mind.
But when you [Bb]got ten bucks that you can blow
You [Db]oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
He’s [F]doin’ fairs and concert dates all up and down the [Bb]line.
Chorus2:
I said stick ‘em [Db]up everybody I’m robbin’ this place
Drop [Bb]all of your money in my guitar case
Don’t [Db]nobody move and don’t nobody reach for that [F]door
A [Bb]lady said why you’re Johnny Cash
I said [Db]no ma’am, I’m The Manhattan Flash
And I [F]am the best bank robber, in New [Bb]York.[F]
Well it 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.
