Johnny Cash – Man Who Couldnt Cry (Guitar)

                     C                    
There once was a man who just couldn't cry

G                                    D 
He hadn't cried for years and for years

                                    C     
Napalmed babies and the movie "Love Story"

G                                 D 
For instance could not produce tears

          A           G                 D   
As a child he had cried as all children will

             C                          D
Then at some point his tear ducts ran dry

                   C                   
He grew to be a man, it all hit the fan

G                                  D
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry

                      C
His dog was run over, his wife up and left him

G                                      D
And after that he got sacked from his job

                                             C
Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore

G                               D
Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob

         A             G             D
His novel was refused, his movie was panned

            C                      D
And his big Broadway show was a flop

                       C
He got sent off to jail;  you guessed it, no bail

G                                  D
Oh, but still not a dribble or drop

                       C
In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered

G                            D
And made to make license plates

                               C
Water and bread was all he was fed

G                                   D
But not once did a tear stain his face

            A           G           D
Doctors were called in, scientists, too

            C                             D
Theologians were last and practically least

                           C
They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff

G                              D
But in fact an insensitive beast

                         C
He was removed from jail and placed in a place

G                               D
For the insensitive and the insane

                                             C
He made a lot of friends and played a lot of chess

G                                 D
And he wept every time it would rain

              A           G                   D
Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights

             C                                    D
And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried

                      C
On the forty-first day, he passed away

G                         D
He just dehydrated and died

                          C
Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog

G                                   D
Not only that, but he rejoined his arm

                                              C
Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back

G                                 D
Cancer robbed the whore of her charm

           A                     G                      D
His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke

               C                     D
The theologians were finally found out

                        C
Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down

G                                  D
The earth suffered perpetual drought
