Johnny Cash – Crazy Old Soldier (Ukulele)

C
I've had fame and fortune, 

                       F
Women come knock on my door.

     G
I've lived to the limit, 

                       C
And maybe a little bit more.

                       F
Of how I got out of control.

     G
Some say it's a women, 

                          C
Some say it's my troubled soul.

           F
I'm like a crazy old soldier,

                    C
Fightin a war on my own.

     G
Just me and the whiskey,

                                 C
And the bottles are ten-thousand strong.

F
You'd think I'd give up,

                           C
As many times as I've been hit.

           G
But like a crazy old soldier,

                          C
I just don't know when to quit.

C
Barrooms and bedrooms, 

                              F
are just faces and places and names.

G
One's for the pleasure,

                              C
And lord knows what's for the pain.

                                 F
And all of the things that we've done.

       G
But as long as there's memories,

                      C
I'll never hang up my gun.

       G
Like a crazy old soldier,

                          C
I just don't know when to quit.
