Johnny Cash – King Of The Hill (Guitar)

A                    D       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                           D     A
You can't make it at the cotton mill

                     E       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                            E    A
You can't make it at the cotton mill

                   E      A
Get put on at the Harlan mine

        D        A        D       A
Be the last one out at quittin' time

                                E     A
You already workin' when the whistle blew

                        E      A
Never complain about a job to do

                            E     A
When they say who can, you say I will

                          D        A
If you ever gonna be king of the hill

A                    D       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                           D     A
You can't make it at the cotton mill

                           E         A
You need a good woman to share your bed

                          E        A
To keep you loved and to keep you fed

                      E      A
To help you to face another day

    D       A      D       A
To get you up and on your way

                             E        A
Where the golden rule don't rule out true

                            E     A
You do to them before they do to you

                            E      A
Watch out for yourself or nobody will

                           D      A
If you ever gonna be king of the hill

A                    D       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                           D     A
You can't make it at the cotton mill

                          E      A
Saturday night you go to Harlan town

                             E      A
You shoot some pool and you fool around

                              E        A
You watch the girls and you drink bootleg

                       D         A
Get starved to death before you beg

                              E       A
You trust in luck till your luck is gone

                            E         A
Then jump right in and you hang right on

                              E       A
There may be times you would have to kill

                           D       A
If you ever gonna be king of the hill

A                    D       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                           D     A
You can't make it at the cotton mill

                                   E      A
When the last of the coals out of every vein

                              E         A
Had long been gone on the northbound train

                                    E        A
Walk up to the top and if you're standing still

                           D       A
You can call yourself king of the hill

                        E         A
But if you fall like a lot have done

                 E       A
By accident or knife or gun

 D                 A       E             A
When they lay you high on the mountain still

                           D        A
You can call yourself king of the hill

A                    D       A
If you gonna be king of the hill

                           D     A
You can't make it at the cotton mill
