Chords

This is a song that Johnny Cash had recorded but it wasn't released until the Life Unheard Album. I recommend listening to the original recording to give some reference on how to play the song. [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C              F         C
Honey have you heard the news

                   G     C
I'm paying no more union dues

                           F         C
Like a bird that flew when lightning struck

                     G      C
I'm breaking out and moving up.

                            F       C
If the creek don't rise and I don't die

                     G      C
I'm getting my piece of the pie

                  F     C
Doin without just never stuck

                     G      C
I'm getting mine and moving up.
[Chorus]
           F                           C
I'm moving up a little higher breaking all the chains that hold

          F                               D             G    C
I may not be a big high flyer but there's freedom in my soul

N.c  C          F        C
Well I got open eyes and mind

                        G     C
And the love of man and woman kind

                      F      C   
It'll work out with a little luck

                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.
[Solo] C F C C G C G C C F G C [Verse 2]
C                          F         C
Where the land is rich and black and flat

                     G           C
Woman love's good on ground like that

                               F       C
So I wouldn't stay there for a million bucks

                    G      C
She moved on so I'm moving up.

                 F       C
Yes happiness is calling me

                      G   C
And love as sweet prosperity

                     F        C
I'm gonna drink from fortunes cup

                    G      C
I'm leaving now and moving up.
[Chorus]
           F                           C
I'm moving up a little higher breaking all the chains that hold

          F                               D             G       C
I may not be a big high flyer but there's freedom in my soul

N.c  C          F        C
Well I got open eyes and mind

                        G     C
And the love of man and woman kind

                      F      C
It'll work out with a little luck

                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.

                      F      C
It'll work out with a little luck

                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.
[Ending] C F C G C
