A D E7 A E
[Verse 1]
A For two long years my head hurt bad D So a doctor checked me an he shook his head E7 He said I'm sorry to tell you A E But your body's outlived your brain A He said I know this doctor in New York, son D And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one E7 So the head doctor met me A E When I stepped down off of the train A He said we had this bank robber killed last night D His body's shot but his brain's alright E7 I'll give you a transplant, boy A E And you'll be okay A I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great D I went right back to Nashville with no headache E7 But something strange happened A When I walked in the bank one day
[Chorus]
D I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place A Drop all of your money in my guitar case D E7 Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door A A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash D I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash E7 A And I am the best bank robber in New York
[Verse 2]
A Now the other night Roy Acuff called me D He said John I'd like for you to do the Opry E7 A E So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing A I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line' D And something snapped in this head of mine E7 I yelled stick 'em up! A Give me your money, your watches and rings.

[Verse 3]
A# Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack D# And said Doc I gotta have my old brain back F7 A# F He said I'm sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do that A# He said I put your brain in a chicken last monday D# He's singing your songs and makin' lots of money F7 A# F And I got him signed to a ten-year recording contract A# Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street D# Remember what you see ain't necessarily me F7 A# F And if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind A# But when you got ten bucks that you can blow D# You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show F7 He's doin' fairs and concert dates A# All up and down the line
[Chorus]
D# I said stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place A# Drop all of your money in my guitar case D# F7 Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door A# A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash D# I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash F7 A# And I am the best bank robber in New York
[Outro]
F Well, I don't pay any income tax... F You don't pay tax on money you steal... F You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show... F Chicken In Black! Hmmmmmmmm!
