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.

[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.
