[D] Was before he left, he went and named me "[G] Sue."
Verse 2: [G] Well, he must of thought that is quite a joke,

[D] He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him [G] smile.
Verse 8: [G] And he said "Son, this world is rough,
[C] And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough

Verse 9: [G] He said "Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
[C] And I know you hate me, and you got the right
[D] To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you [G] do.
[G] But ya ought to thank me, before I die, [C] For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
[D] Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "[G] Sue.'"
Verse 10: [G] I got all choked up and I threw down my gun,
[C] And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
[D] And I came away with a different point of [G] view.
[G] And I think about him, now and then, [C] Every time I try and every time I win,
[Outro (No Chords)]
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! [G] Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Verse 1:
[C] For two long years my head hurt bad
So a [F] doctor checked me an he shook his head
He said [G] I'm sorry to tell you But your body's outlived your [C] brain [G]
He said I [C] know this doctor in New York, son
And he'll [F] fix you right up with a brand new one
So the [G] head doctor met me When I stepped down off of the [C] train [G]
He said we [C] had this bank robber killed last night
His [F] body's shot but his brain's alright I'll [G] give you a transplant, boy
And you'll be [C] okay, [G] I got [C] my new brain in and I was feelin' great
I went [F] right back to Nashville with no headache
But something [G] strange happened, When I walked in the bank one [C] day
|[Chorus]
|I said [F] stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place
|Drop [C] all of your money in my guitar case
|Don't [F] nobody move and don't nobody reach for that [G] door

|I said [F] no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
|And I [G] am the best bank robber in New [C] York
Verse 2:
[C] Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
He said [F] John I'd like for you to do the Opry
So I [G] went out on the stage, but I couldn't [C] sing [G]
I [C] got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line'
And [F] something snapped in this head of mine
I yelled [G] stick 'em up! Give me your money, your watches and [C] rings.
[Instrumental]
[C]
Verse 3:
[C] Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack
And said [F] Doc I gotta have my old brain back
He said I'm [G] sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do [C] that [G]
He said I [C] put your brain in a chicken last Monday
He's [F] singing your songs and makin' lots of money
And I [G] got him signed to a ten-year recording [C] contract [G]
[C] Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street
Remember [F] what you see ain't necessarily me
And if I [G] try to hold you up, don't pay me no [C] mind [G]
But when you [C] got ten bucks that you can blow
You oughta [F] catch that Johnny Chicken show
He's doin' [G] fairs and concert dates all up and down the [C] line
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[G] Well, I don't pay any income tax...
You don't pay tax on money you steal...
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show...

A D A
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
E7
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
A D A
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
E7 A
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
Verse 2:
A D A
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison;
E7
I took care of Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son.
A D A
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy,
E7 A
"Son my life is over, but yours has just begun".
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
|D A E7
| Walk away from trouble if you can.
|A D A
| It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
|A D E7
| I hope you're old enough to understand,
|E7 A
| Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
Verse 3:
A D A
There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky.
A E7
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.

E7 A
They took turns at Becky, (n' there was three of them).
Verse 4:

Tommy opened up the door, and saw Becky crying. [A]
E7
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.

As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
[Chorus]
Verse 5:
A D A
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom;
E7
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor.
A D A
When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! old yeller's leaving,"
E7 A
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Verse 6:
A D A
Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him.
E7
He wasn't holding nothing back - he let 'em have it all.
A D A
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing.
A E7 A
He said, "This one's for Becky, as he watched the last one fall. (And I heard him say,)
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
|D A E7
| I walk away from trouble when I can
| A D A
|Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek,
|A D E7

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay

Cows out- gunned

But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers, Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

[Intro]
[D]
[Verse 1]
[D] We were poor when I was a youngin', I don't remember ever going hungry
[G] Daddy made sure we didn't do with[D]out I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous, [G] I didn't know then what I know [D] now
Daddy'd say you [A] can't judge a book by looking at its cover
It's [G] what's inside that really [A] matters
|[Chorus]
|Daddy never [G] was the Cadillac [D] kind

[G] Cruisin' around the old neighbor[D]hood, I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
[D] I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
He [G] just said no, I never under[D]stood
He [A] asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
[G] Daddy just smiled, I'll never for[A]get it
[Chorus]

[Bm] It took a while but now I'm grown
[G] I've settled down with kids of my own
The [Em] more I give them, the more they [A] want

[D] Daddy left us last November
[D] I don't remember him ever looking better
[G] All laid out in his Sunday[D] best
[D] I'm sure instead of all that attention
[D] All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A [G] simple man simply laid to [D] rest
As they [A] drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a [G] tear in my eye I had to [A] laugh
|[Chorus]
|Daddy never [G] was the Cadillac [D] kind
|He said some [Bm] things [G] just glitter and [A] shine
|Just this [G] once, I hope [D] Daddy [A] enjoyed the [Bm] ride
|Cause, Daddy never [G] was [A] the Cadillac [D] kind

No my Daddy never [Em] was, [G] the Cadillac [D] kind

[A7] I had but one chance and that was to [D] run
Bridge:
[G] Out through the back door of Rosa's I [G] ran
Out where the horses were [D] ti-i-i-[D7]-ied
[D7] I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
[D7] Up on its back, and away I did [G] ride
But my [A7] lo-o-ve for
Verse 5:
[D] Felina is strong and I [Em] rise where I've fallen
[A7] Though I am weary I can't stop to [D] rest
[D] I see the white puff of smoke [Em] from the rifle
[A7] I feel the bullet go deep in my [D] chest
Verse 6:
[D] From out of nowhere [Em] Felina has found me
[A7] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my [D] side
[D] Cradled by two loving arms [Em] that I'll die for

And I could tell she was leaving
And I thought, "Aww, she'll be back"
Till she turned around and pointed at the wall and said
[G] That picture from our honeymoon, that night in 'Frisco [G7] Bay,
Just give it [C] away, she said give it [G] away.
[G] And that big four-poster, king-size bed, where so much love was [G7] made
Just give it [C] away, she said just give it [G] away [G7]

|Oh, [D7] and we're both tired of fighting [C] anyway,
|So just give it [G] away.
[Verse 2]
[G] So I tried to move on,
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day.
[G] When that front door swung wide open, she flung her diamond [G7] ring
Said give it [C] away, just give it [G] away.
And I said, "Now honey, don't you even want your half of [G7] everything?"
She said give it [C] away, just give it [G] away.

[G] So I'm still right here where she left me,
Along with all the other things she don't care about anymore.
[G] Like that picture from our honeymoon, that night in Frisco [G7] Bay,
She said give it [C] away, well I can't give it [G] away.
[G] And that big four-poster, king-size bed, where all our love was [G7] made,
She said give it [C] away, well I can't give it [G] away.
[Outro]
[G] I got a furnished house, a diamond ring,
And a lonely, broken heart full of [C] love.
And I can't even give it [G] away.

On the first part of the journey

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There were sand and hills and rings

After three days in the desert fun

I was looking at a river bed
Em D
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Em D
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D
And a perfect disguise above
Em D
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D
But the humans will give no love

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
For you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's [Am] ground.

|[C] One hundred million angels singin'.
|[C] Multitudes are marching to the [F] big [C] kettle [G] drum.
|Voices callin', voices cryin'.
|Some are born an' some are dyin'.
|It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom [C] come.
|And the [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree.
|The [C] virgins are all trimming their wicks.
|The [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree.
|It's [C] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
[Verse 2]
[C] Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.
Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
The wise men will bow down before the throne.
And at his feet they'll cast their golden [Am] crown.
Whe[F]n the [G] man comes aro[C]und.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written [Am] down,
[F] When the [G] man comes around [C].
|[Chorus]

Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the [A] cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll [D] find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [A] single yesterday
[E7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [A] mine

Down the long black stretches of a [D] dark highway

One Piece At A Time - Johnny Cash
Intro:
[G] [C] [D] [D] [G]
Verse 1: [G] Well I left Kentucky back in '49, And went to [C] Detroit working on assembly line
The [D] first year they had me putting wheels on Cadil[G]lac's
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by, And [C] sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I [D] always wanted me one that was long and [G] black
[Verse 2] One day I devised myself a plan, That should [C] be the envy of most any man
I'd [D] sneak it outta there in a lunch box in my [G] hand
Now getting caught meant getting fired, But I [C] figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd [D] have me a car worth at least a hundred [G] grand
|[Chorus]
|I'd get it one piece at a time and it [C] wouldn't cost me a dime
|You'll [D] know it's me when I come through your [G] town
|I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna [C] drive everybody wild
|'Cause [D] I'll have the only one there is [G] around
[Verse 3] So the very next day when I punched in, With my [C] big lunch box and with help
from my friends, I [D] left that day with a lunch-box full of [G] gears
I've never considered myself a thief, But [C] GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
[D] Especially if I strung it out over several [G] years
[Verse 4] The first day I got me a fuel pump, And the [C] next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then [D] I got me a transmission and all the [G] chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunch box, Like [C] nuts and bolts and all four shocks
[D] But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile [G] home
[Verse 5] Now up to now my plan went alright, Till we [C] tried to put it all together one night
And [D] that's when we noticed that something was definitely [G] wrong
The transmission was a '53, And the [C] motor turned out to be a '73
And [D] when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were [G] gone
[Verse 6] So we drilled it out so that it would fit, And with a little [C] bit of help from an adapter kit
We [D] had that engine running just like a [G] song
Now the headlights they was another sight, We had [C] two on the left and one on the right
But [D] when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come [G] on
[Verse 7] The back end looked kind of funny too, But we [C] put it together and when we got through
Well [D] that's when we noticed that we only had one tail [G] fin
About that time my wife walked out, And I could [C] see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she [D] opened the door and said honey take me for a [G] spin
[Verse 8] So we drove uptown just to get the tags, And I [C] headed her right on down main drag
I could [D] hear everybody laughing for blocks [G] around
But up there at the courthouse they didn't laugh, Cause to [C] type it up it took the whole staff
And when [D] they got through the title weighed sixty [G] pounds
|[Chorus]
|I got it one piece at a time and it [C] didn't cost me a dime
|You'd [D] know it's me when I come through your [G] town
|I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna [C] drive everybody wild
|'Cause I'll [D] have the only one there is [G] around
Outro:
[G] Ah yeah Red Rider this is the Cottonmouth, In the Psychobilly Cadillac come on
Oh this is the Cottonmouth and negatory, On the cost of this machine there Red Rider
You might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up, It's cheaper that way...
Ah what model it is?
[G] Well it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, [C] '53, '54, '55, '56, [D] '57 '58' 59' Auto[G]mobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, [C] '64, '65, '66, '67, [D] '68, '69, '70 Auto[G]mobile

[G] Pancho needs your prayers, it's true. But [D] save a few for [G] Lefty too
[Bm] He only did what he [G] had [D] to [A] do. [G] And now, he's growing [Bm] old [A]
|[Chorus]

Riding With Private Malone - David Ball
[intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds
C
When an ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye
G
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
C D G
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
G
It was way back in the in corner of this old ramshackle barn
C
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
D C
When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
C D G
What she called a Chevy was a sixty-six corvette
Am D
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
G C D
What a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
G
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
C D G
The date was nineteen sixty-six and this is what he wrote
|[Chorus 1]
| Em D C D
|My name is private Andrew Malone
| Em D C D
|If your reading this then I didn't make it home
| Bm Em Am D
|But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
| Am D
|This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
| Em D C Bm
|And though you may take her and make her your own
|Am D G
| You'll always be riding with private Malone
[Verse 2]
G
It didn't take me long at all I had her runnin' good
C
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
G
I had her shinin' like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
C D G
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
Am D
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
G C D
But it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
G
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
C D G
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
|[Chorus]
| Em D C D
|It was a young man named private Andrew Malone
| Em D C D
|Who fought for his country and never made it home
| Bm Em Am D
|But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true
| Am D
|This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
| Em D C Bm
|And he told me to take her and make her my own
|Am D G
| And I was proud to be riding with private Malone
[Verse 3]
Am D
One night it was raining hard I took a curb to fast
G C D
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
G
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
Am D G
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
|[Chorus]
| Em D C D
|It was a young man named private Andrew Malone
| Em D C D
|Who fought for his country and never made it home
| Bm Em Am D
|But for every dream that's shattered there's another that comes true
| Am D
|This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
| Em D C Bm
|And I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
|Am D G
| Yeah that night I was riding with private Malone
|Am D G
| Oh thank God I was riding with private Malone

Standing Outside The Fire - Garth Brooks
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
We call them [C] cool
Those hearts that [C] have no scars to show
The ones that [Em] never do let [F] go
And risk the [Dm] tables being [G] turned
We call them [C] fools
Who have to [C] dance within the flame
Who chance the [Em] sorrow and [F] the shame
That always [Dm] comes with get[G]ting burned

|But you [Am] got to be [G] tough
|When [F] consumed by de[C]sire
|Cause [Am] its not [G] enough just to [F] stand out[G]side the [C] fire

We call them [C] strong
Those who [C] can face this world alone
Who seem to get [Em] by on their [F] own
Those who will [Dm] never take [G] the fall
We call them [C] weak
Who are [C] unable to resist
The slightest [Em] chance love [F] might exist
And for that [Dm] forsake it [G] all
|[Chorus 2]
|They're so [Am] hell bent on [G] giving
|[F] Walking a [C] wire
|Con[Am]vinced it's not [G] living when you [F] stand out[G]side the [C] fire
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[Am] Life is not [G] tried, it is [C] merely sur[F]vived
|If you're [Dm] standing out[G]side the [C] fire
[Bridge]
There's this [F] love that is burning, [Em] deep in my soul
[Dm] Constantly yearning to get [C] out of control
[F] Wanting to fly, [Em] higher and higher
[Dm] I can't [Em] abide [F] standing [G] outside... [NC] the fire
|[Chorus 3]
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[Am] Life is not [G] tried, it is [C] merely sur[F]vived

[G ]Well, I woke up Sunday morning
with no [C] way to hold my [D] head that didn't [G] hurt
and the [G] beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Em] bad

playing with a can that he was [D] kicking
then I [G] walked across the [G7] street

[D] somehow along the [G] way

with a [C] laughing little [D] girl that he was [G] swinging

Intro:
[G] [G]
Verse 1:
On a [G] warm summer's evenin' on a [C] train bound for [G] nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to [D] sleep.
So [G] we took turns a starin' out the [C] window at the [G] darkness
'til [C] boredom over [G] took us, [D] and he began to [G] speak.
Verse 2:
He said, [G] "Son, I've made a life out of [C] readin' people's [G] faces,
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their [D] eyes.
And if [G] you don't mind my sayin', I can [C] see you're out of [G] aces.
For a [C] taste of your [G] whiskey I'll [D] give you some [G] advice."
Verse 3:
So I [G] handed him my bottle and he [C] drank down my last [G] swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a [D] light.
And the [G] night got deathly quiet, and his [C] face lost all ex[G]pression.
Said, "If you're [C] gonna play the [G] game, boy, ya gotta [D] learn to play it [G] right.
|Chorus:
|You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em,
|[C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run.
|You never [G] count [Am] your [G] money when you're [C] sittin' at the [G] table.
|There'll be [C] time enough for [G] countin' [D] when the dealin's [G] done.
Verse 4:
[G] Ev'ry gambler knows that the [C] secret to surv[G]ivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to [D] keep.
'Cause [G] ev'ry hand's a winner and [C] ev'ry hand's a [G] loser,
and the [C] best that you can [G] hope for is to [D] die in your [G] sleep."
Verse 5:
And [G] when he'd finished speakin', he [C] turned back towards the [G] window,
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to [D] sleep.
And [G] somewhere in the darkness the [C] gambler, he broke [G] even.
But [C] in his final [G] words I found an [D] ace that I could [G] keep.
|Chorus x3 (second time is acapella):
|You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em,
|[C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run.

The Road Goes On Forever - The Highwaymen
[Verse 1]
Sherry was [D] a waitress, At the only joint in town She had a [G] reputation,
As a girl who'd been around, Down main [D] street after midnight, Brand new pack of cigs
A fresh one [G] hanging from her lips, A beer between her legs
She'd ride [A] down to the river, And meet with all her friends
The road goes [G] on forever, And the party never ends [D]
Verse 2:(Willie Nelson)
Sonny was [D] a loner, Bolder than the rest, He was goin' [G] in the Navy,
But he couldn't pass the test, So he hung [D] around town, He sold a little pot
The law caught [G] wind of Sonny, One day he got caught
But he was [A] back in business, When they set him free again
The road goes [G] on forever, And the party never ends [D]
[Verse 3]
Sonny's playin' [D] eight ball, At the joint where Sherry works, When some [G] drunken out of towner,
Put his hand up Sherry's skirt, Sonny took [D] his pool cue, Laid the drunk out on the floor
Stuffed a [G] dollar in her tip jar, Walked on out the door
She's runnin' [A] right behind him, Reachin' for his hand
The road goes [G] on forever, And the party never ends [D]
[Verse 4]
They jumped [D] into his pick-up, Sonny jammed her down in gear. Sonny looked [G] at Sherry,
Said,"Let's get out of here", The stars were [D] high above them, The moon was in the east
The sun was [G] setting on them, When they reached Miami Beach
They got a [A] motel by the water, And a quart of Bombay Gin
The road goes [G] on forever, And the party never ends [D]
[Verse 5]
They soon [D] ran out of money, But Sonny knew a man, Who knew some [G] Cuban refugees,
Who dealt in contreband, Sonny met [D] the Cuban, In a house just off the route
With a brief[G]case full of money, And a pistol in his boot
The cards were [A] on the table, When the law came bustin' in
The road goes [G] on forever, And the party never ends [D]
[Verse 6]
The Cubans [D] grabbed the goodies, And Sonny grabbed the jack, He broke the [G] bathroom
window, And climbed on out the back Sherry drove [D] the pick-up, Through the alley on the side
