Artist: Johnny Cash Song: Goodnight Irene [Intro] F6 | C | G | C | C | C | [Verse 1]
     C                    G
Last Saturday night I got married,

G                      C
Me and my wife settled down.

    C         C7       F
Now me and my wife are parted;

      G                       C
Gonna take another stroll downtown.
[Chorus]
C          G      G          C
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight.

    C       C7        F
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene.

I'll see you in my dreams.

    C                   G
Sometimes I live in the country.

    G               C
Sometimes I live in town.

    C       C7          F
Sometimes I take a fool notion

   G                     C
To jump in the river and drown.
[Chorus]

Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'.

     G                   C
Stop staying out late at night.

Go home to your wife and family.

Stay there by the fireside bright.
